Introducing Xeroed’s Skier – the “Look Ahead” debt payoff method.
Save more interest, and pay off your debts faster, than the Snowball & Avalanche methods.
The Snowball Method
Smallest balances first
Strategy: Pay off your debts in order of smallest balances first, regardless of interest rate, while making minimum payments on the other debts. Once the smallest balance is paid off, attack the next larger one, and so on.
Advantage: Helps you visually get rid of the smaller debts first.
Catch: If your larger debts have higher interest rates, you'll end up paying significantly more interest overall.
The Avalanche Method
Highest APR first
Strategy: Target debts with the highest interest rates first, regardless of balance remaining. Once you've paid off the debt with the highest APR, target the next lower one, and so on.
Advantage: If you don't have any promotional 0% APR or low-rate balances, nor plan to take any, this works well.
Catch: Ignores low APR promos till they expire and their APR shoots up, costing you high interest payment overall.
Xeroed’s Skier Method
Intelligently distributes payoff amounts
Strategy: Xeroed looks ahead through time at the current and upcoming APRs on your complete mix of loan and card balances, including any 0% / low-rate promotions (even on the same card). It then calculates how best to distribute your payoff budget into each card, each month.
Advantage: You get efficient, AI-optimized payoff plans: Interest-saving roadmaps through the projected payoff period. Pays off your promos neither too early nor too late.
You save by paying the least interest overall
The key: “Look ahead.”
