Can You Invest While In Debt?


Listen Later

One question we get asked all the time at Equity Mates is, should I be investing if I have a lot of other financial commitments, including debt? In short, our answer is yes. Why and how? We answer that in this podcast.

We cover all the questions you should be asking yourself - including the conundrum between paying off debt and starting an investment portfolio - what should come first? We also talk about understanding the type of debt you have, and the effect of interest rates on servicing your loan.
