How can the debt management strategies discussed be applied to different types of debts such as mortgages, personal loans, and tax debts?

The debt management strategies discussed can be applied to different types of debts such as mortgages, personal loans, and tax debts by prioritizing them based on the chosen strategy. For instance, the Snowball method involves paying off debts from smallest to largest, regardless of the interest rate. This could mean starting with a small personal loan, then moving onto a larger tax debt, and finally tackling the mortgage. The Avalanche method, on the other hand, prioritizes debts with the highest interest rates, which could mean paying off a high-interest credit card debt before a low-interest mortgage. The customizable strategy allows you to set your own priorities, perhaps based on factors such as the consequences of non-payment.
