Financially Intentional Pay Down Debt or Invest - Episode 116 (Classic Episode)
I made a big money mistake, and I want to share what I learned so you don’t have to make the same one. In today's classic episode, I sit down with Dr. Jay to talk about whether you should pay off debt first or invest your money instead. I share my personal story of paying off nearly a million dollars in debt, the choices I made, and what I would do differently today. We also talk about simple money rules, the hidden costs of debt, and how to make the best decision for your situation.
