Episode notes
Timeshare Avoidance and Disposal Advice
- Avoid buying new timeshares; buy used or get them for free if needed.
- Use the Timeshare Users Group forum for selling or advice, and disclaim unwanted timeshares if possible.
Student Loans and Residency Housing Advice
- Do not use student loan money for non-education expenses; it violates the loan agreement.
- Generally, renting is more financially prudent than buying a home during residency.
Mortgage Payoff and Home Equity Advice
- Paying off high-interest debt gives a guaranteed return equal to the interest rate.
