** Whats a Debt Snowball and why use one? **

If youve got some debt and are looking for an effective way to get rid of it a debt snowball method will most definitely help you achieve your goal in a fast and rewards way. The strategy is actually very simple...

1. You order your debts from smallest to largest and make sure to keep up with just the minimum monthly repayments on all but the smallest debt. For smallest debt, you throw as much money at it as you can until the debt is gone.

2. Next up, you start working on the second smallest debt. Use the original repayment (you no longer need to make as the debt is gone!) and add it to the repayment of the new smallest debt, thereby making an overpayment.

The idea is that you gain momentum as your debts disappear one by one, allowing you to add the previous minimum repayments to the debts you have left. Your repayment on the debt youre working on gets bigger and bigger, just as a snowball would.

** An interesting fact **

Having been popularized by Dave Ramsey of Total Money Makeover, Harvard researchers actually found the Debt Snowball Repayment Method to be the most effective debt-repayment strategy, giving users a sense of accomplishment and motivating them to keep going.

** Why we decided to create this app **

We couldn’t find a simple, uncomplicated, jargon-free App to record our journey from being in debt to debt-free. We wanted a place to record where we’d come from (broke!) to where we’d got to (debt-free!). Inspired by Dave Ramsey and the snowball repayment method we went ahead and build this app. Hopefully, this helps you as it has for us giving you that motivational push to go full steam ahead in paying on your debts.

** Future thoughts **

Were super keen to improve on what weve done so far and would love to get any suggestions, ideas you have. If you could take a moment to leave us a nice review on the app store that would really help us :)


** Before you go, heres an inspiring quote to get you pumped up...

“When you start the Debt Snowball and in the first few days pay off a couple of little debts, trust me, it lights your fire.”
- Dave Ramsey

** Oh, one last thing **
A few people were not fully clear on what our app was from the first version and thought they could use it to compare methods. Just to be clear this app is NOT a debt repayment comparison app. We do not offer the ability to compare debt repayment methods. This app is ONLY for the snowball method.
