Answer #1

Snowball method involves payment to debts where smallest debt is cleared first and then second smallest and so on so that Largest debt is paid of at last while paying minimum payment to other debts.

It takes 45 months to get out of debt by snowball method where in 45th month we need to pay only $ 68 to Largest debt that was outstanding that is to Student Loan of $ 18,400

And as my working exceeds specified characters of 65,000 I am unable to specify whole of my working but still I have mentioned ranking of payment below

Debt Ranking of Payment Minimum payment Interest rate
Master card 600 1 $                            22 19.90%
Visa 2545 3 $                            60 23.95%
Car 16800 6 $                         465 4.80%
Student Loan 18400 7 $                         220 6.80%
Electronics store 1015 2 $                            29 22.65%
Loan from dad 3000 4 $                            20 0.00%
Knee Surgery 5000 5 $                         100 6.20%
