Debt summary table sorted by interest rate (highest to lowest) and by balance (smallest to largest)\n2. Avalanche method plan — month-by-month schedule, total interest paid, payoff date\n3. Snowball method plan — same metrics\n4. Side-by-side comparison: interest saved and time difference between methods\n5. Recommendation based on my primary goal with one-sentence rationale\n6.
