- Who is the Paying Off Debt poster for?

- When should you use the Paying Off Debt poster?
- Avalanche costs least. Snowball is easier to stick to. The one you finish wins. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Paying Off Debt belongs on the wall where that money work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
