Caleb and Riley discuss whether an individual with some ‘extra cash’ should pay off debt or invest. Often people are divided into two camps in how they think about this question. Some people are mathematical about it, they will choose the option that maximizes their wealth. Others approach it emotionally and choose the option based on how investments and debt make them feel. Which camp do you think you fall into? Do you know how to calculate which option is mathematically better? Let us share with you a framework for helping you make the best decision. Learn more about:
