Will finish paying off a credit card in Oct and I am deciding which to pay off next, realise it doesn't really matter.
1750 on a 0% until April 27 credit card
8000 on a 5.9% loan. Ive 'paid' the interest on the loan already really, but understand it will affect the final figure. Approximately 28 months left.
Avalanche or snowball ?
I will be paying approximately 1000 a month off these two.

Settling the loan early should result in you paying less interest overall.
And always if one is attracting interest and one isn't then you should pay the one that is attracting interest first.
