You Can Pay Off Debt AND Invest at the Same Time. Here's the Math
Dave Ramsey would clutch his pearls at this one. You do not have to be 100% debt-free before you start investing. In this episode I'm breaking down the actual math behind why "debt first, before everything else" can cost you more than it saves you. And I'm sharing my personal story of the two years I spent stuck in exactly that cycle. I'm covering: ✅ Why the "debt-free first" approach nearly kept us in debt longer (and nearly cost my marriage) ✅ The real math: how an extra $25/month can save you 30 months and $3,000+ in interest ✅ Why compound interest doesn't wait for your debt to be paid off ✅ The exact 5-step split I coach clients through to do both at the same time ✅ How we went from $90k in debt to over $200k in savings and investments without choosing one over the other If you've ever felt stuck between "pay off debt" and "start investing," this episode is for you.
