Thank you. Well, I'm a relatively new listener. We're on baby step number two. And my question is, we have probably about... $17,500 in credit card debt and a couple of other small loans. And we have some money set aside. And I was wondering, is there any way that you can deviate from that snowball plan?

Okay. Basically, the biggest one we have is we have a credit card with a high interest rate that has a balance of about $10,000. Okay. What's the interest rate on that? It's like 18.5%, I think. Okay. And then we have another credit card with a balance of $7,500, and that interest rate is 9.9%. Mm-hmm.

And then we have a, um, kind of like a small, um, home improvement loan with a balance of like $350 that you have to pay off. And then, um, I have a work loan, um, that I got through my work with, with 0% interest and I have a balance of like $800 on that.

Right. So I guess my question is, you know, would it make sense to pay off the highest one, the $10,000 first? And then pay the two small loans and then whatever's left pay on that last credit card.
