Six figures of debt is the threshold where most online advice stops applying. The blogs and the YouTube budgets are written by people whose worst-case scenario was $40,000 and a tight summer. At $100,000 the math is different. Interest at 8% blended runs $667 a month before any payment is applied. The minimums are $1,500-1,800. Real progress requires real planning, not motivation videos.

Avalanche is the only method that makes sense at $100,000. The rate spread on a six-figure portfolio is usually wide — 4.5% federal student loans alongside 22% credit cards alongside 8% personal loans. Every misallocated extra dollar at this scale costs hundreds in interest by the time the payoff completes. Snowball is defensible only if your behavioral track record requires the visible wins; otherwise the math wins.

On $100,000 at a blended 8%, paying $1,520/month minimum finishes in 96 months and costs $46,000 in interest. Adding $200/month extra cuts that to 84 months and $39,000 interest. Adding $500/month extra cuts to 70 months and $32,000. At this debt level, the lever that matters most is the size of the extra payment — every $100 of additional monthly cash flow removes about 5 months from the timeline.
