In the 11th episode of the Melby Money Show, host Shaun Melby dives into debt repayment strategies with a focus on the debt snowball and debt avalanche methods. The episode explains the psychological benefits of the debt snowball approach, which emphasizes quick wins by paying off smaller debts first, and contrasts it with the debt avalanche strategy, which targets high-interest debts to minimize total interest paid over time. The discussion also includes an exploration of current financial events, notably the persistently high 10-year treasury yields despite Federal Reserve rate cuts. Additionally, the episode features a segment on understanding credit scores and how to improve them to secure better financial opportunities. Shaun underscores the importance of choosing a debt repayment strategy that aligns with one's personal financial situation and goals.
