Gary leads the discussion for Part 2 of our Financial Independence Series: Attack Debt & Build A Safety Net.  The main takeaways and talking points are as follows:

• Listen to Episode 022 to learn how to build a gap between what you make and what you spend.
• Use the “gap” to pay off your debt before you start investing your money.
• The exception is if your employer offers a match.  Take the match, it is free money!
• Determine the type of debt you have.
• It’s not “good” vs. “bad”.
• Think of it as “high-interest” or “low-interest”.
• Types of debt payback: snowball, avalanche, combination, other.
• What to do with mortgage debt?
• How to build a safety net/emergency fund.
• How much should the emergency fund be?
