The debt snowball method is the way to pay off debt. There are two steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) <strong>List your debts in order, from the one with the smallest balance to largest<\/strong>. Exclude only your mortgage, which will be addressed in another step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Each month, <strong>apply every extra dollar you have after basic expenses toward paying the smallest debt until it\u2019s paid off. <\/strong>Make the minimum payments to stay current on the other debts on the list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the smallest debt is paid, apply the payment you had been making on it, plus any additional money you have, toward paying off the next smallest debt. When the second debt is paid off, apply the payment amounts from the first two debts, plus any other money you can find, to the third debt on your list, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time you pay off a debt, you increase the amount you can pay on the next one\u2014your payments continue to snowball until your debts are paid off.&nbsp;For Dave Ramsey, this is how to pay off debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Become Debt Free (and Stay That Way)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The biggest myth about debt is that it\u2019s a tool or leverage you can use to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/building-wealth\/\">build wealth<\/a><\/strong>\u2014for instance, to get a car, home, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-get-a-small-business-started\/\">start a business<\/a> that will be a foundation for building your wealth, that is, an investment in your future. It\u2019s smart to use other people\u2019s money, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, debt doesn\u2019t usually make you more prosperous. It creates risk that, over time, builds and erases any initial advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/do-you-want-to-be-rich\/\">want to be wealthy<\/a>, you should do what wealthy people do instead of believing myths pushed by lenders<\/strong>. Three-quarters of the Forbes 400 wealthiest people in America told pollsters that the best way to build wealth is to stay out of debt. Millionaires live below their means and pay cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three of the biggest lenders at the time this book was written\u2014Sears, JCPenney, and Ford\u2014were founded by people who actually opposed debt. For example, Henry Ford thought debt was a lazy way to get things; his view was so strongly held that his company didn\u2019t offer financing until a decade after GM did. Today, credit is one of Ford\u2019s (and any car company\u2019s) biggest profit generators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to know how to become debt free?
