Why smallest first
Paying the highest interest rate first saves a little more on paper. But most people quit before it works. Knocking out a small balance in six weeks is what keeps you in the fight.
When a debt is gone, its payment doesn't go back into your lifestyle. It gets added to the next one. By the last debt you're throwing everything at it at once.
Minimums are designed to keep you paying for decades. Try adding $50 above, then $200, and watch the date move. That gap is what cutting an expense actually buys you.
"Someday" is not a plan. A specific month you can circle on a calendar is. Screenshot it, put it on the fridge, and work backwards from there.
