I have $3800 to put towards my debt. Should I pay off the smallest balance or the highest interest?

Home Depot for sure. You'll pay it completely off and save $$$ on interest. Either way you'll be paying $3800 so I don't see any scenario where it would make more sense to pay Scheels first.

High interest. You will be saving money and getting the motivation of paying something off in full. Even Dave Ramsey says if you have a large amount of money you can go out of order if you can pay something off in full and keep going with your snowball.
