- Should I Save Money to Invest or Pay Off Debt First
In this article, Joshua Rodriguez, writing for Money Crashers, helps us to answer the nagging question – should I save money to invest or pay off debt first. Taking too long to invest can have serious consequences (compounding effects) as well as leaving off your debts to accumulate interest. Joshua encourages a system where you pay off the high-interest debts and make minimum payments on the remaining debts. As you pay off the high-interest debts, you can reallocate the funds into investments.
Joshua goes into much detail about understanding your debts, reducing the cost of your debt, and estimating what you could be getting from investments. He suggests that comparing the cost of the debt and the benefits of the returns from an investment is the right way to make a good decision.
