← GET OUT OF MOBILE-LOAN DEBT

Lesson 3 of 5 · 4 min

Choose which loan to clear first

Keep paying the minimum on every loan, then put every extra shilling into one loan at a time. Two good methods:

  • Most expensive first (avalanche): clear the loan with the highest cost first. This saves the most money.
  • Smallest first (snowball): clear the smallest balance first. Quick wins keep you motivated.

Short-term mobile loans and overdrafts are usually the most expensive, so many people start there. When one loan is cleared, add its payment to the next one.
