(Representative\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Taking a loan for purchasing a home or covering personal expenses has become a necessity for many. The middle class, in particular, often relies on loans for significant projects. Paying EMIs over an extended period can become a burden, prompting many borrowers to seek ways to clear their loans quickly. <\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Banking expert Ashwini Rana suggests three effective methods for rapid loan repayment: Avalanche, Snowball, and Blizzard. Customers can choose the most suitable method based on their individual circumstances. Many people juggle credit cards, personal, home, and auto loans at the same time, which delays repayments and increases interest costs.<\/p>\n<h2>How The Avalanche Method Helps Pay Off Debt Faster<\/h2>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The Avalanche Method involves keeping EMIs low on all loans while using any extra funds to pay off higher-interest loans first. For instance, if credit cards charge up to 36% interest, prioritise paying them off. Next, address personal loans with up to 14% interest, followed by auto loans with 9% or more interest, and finally, allocate funds towards home loans with approximately 8% interest.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can You Use The Snowball Method<\/h2>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The Snowball Method focuses on paying off the smallest loans first, regardless of their interest rates. After clearing one smaller loan, use the remaining funds to pay off other small loans. This approach is psychological, as quickly paying off one loan motivates borrowers to eliminate all their debts. Ensure that any money saved from lower EMIs is used solely for loan repayment.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does The Blizzard Method Work?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The Blizzard Method combines psychological and financial strategies. Initially, invest in paying off a smaller loan 1-2 times, then shift focus to a higher-interest loan. This approach not only motivates borrowers but also results in financial savings. Additionally, using bonus amounts can help expedite loan repayment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2101196831 artcta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news18.co\/gnps-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google.
