Fifty thousand in student loans on a sixty-thousand-dollar salary is the math that tells you the degree was worth it on paper and not yet on the balance sheet. After taxes you bring home about $3,900/month. The standard 10-year minimum on $50,000 at 6% is $555. That is fifteen percent of your take-home, every month, for the next ten years — before rent, before food, before anything that resembles starting an adult life.
Avalanche is the right method when income-to-debt is constrained. The rate spread on a typical 3-loan portfolio (4.5% subsidized, 6.5% unsubsidized, 7.9% Grad PLUS) is wide enough that hitting the highest-rate loan first saves $2,500-4,500 over Snowball across the full payoff. Snowball is only defensible if you carry one tiny loan that closing would unlock psychological momentum.
On $50,000 at a blended 6%, paying $555/month minimum finishes in 120 months and costs $16,600 in interest. Adding $200/month extra cuts that to 84 months and $11,300 interest — three years of life back, $5,300 not paid to the servicer. PSLF eligibility is a separate calculation; this models the cash math.

Common questions
Yes, but the timeline depends on lifestyle. The standard 10-year payoff at $555/month is achievable on $60k income with rent under $1,400. Adding $200/month extra finishes in 84 months. Faster is possible with side income or shared housing; slower (income-driven repayment) is acceptable if you are pursuing PSLF.
