Should I Stop Investing To Get Out of Debt? (#339)

Financial Advisors Say The Darndest Things

In this episode, A.B. Ridgeway discusses a common question: "Should I stop investing to get out of debt?" Using insights from personal experience and financial expert Dave Ramsey, the episode explores how to balance debt repayment and investing. Is it better to focus on one or both? Tune in to find out the best strategies to achieve financial freedom.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Finding Balance Between Debt and Investing: It is possible to invest while paying off debt, but maintaining focus and consistency in both areas is difficult for many.
2. The Importance of Financial Behavior: Financial success is often more about behavior than math. Staying committed to one primary goal at a time—whether debt repayment or investing—can yield better results.
3. The Millionaire Mindset: Millionaires are typically those who consistently save, live below their means, and use their freed-up income to invest and grow wealth, often starting from nothing.

3 Memorable Quotes:

1. "It's not about timing the investment, it's about time in the investment." – A.B. Ridgeway
2. "The psychology of this whole thing is more important than the math. You get the psychology right, the math ends up taking care of itself." – Dave Ramsey
3. "Being a millionaire is more than just having something on paper—it's a lifestyle, a character. It's someone who you are." – A.B. Ridgeway
