The Real Money Pros

Should You Pay Off Debt First, Invest In The Market, Or Buy Gold? (9/13/2025)


Listen Later

This week, Brian and Jeremiah tackle some of the toughest money choices listeners face. Should you use an inheritance to pay off a low-interest mortgage or invest for growth? Is gold really the "safe haven" people believe it to be or just another speculative bet? And how do you plan ahead for long-term care costs without draining your family's savings?

Real-world calls drive the conversation, with questions about paying down debt, structuring investments, and balancing family responsibilities. The guys break down the math and the mindset, showing why the "obvious" answer isn't always the best financial move.

Plus, they also zoom out to cover big-picture topics: the role of insurance in retirement, why cash alone isn't a strategy, and how to think about risk when the markets feel uncertain.
