| Some good financial advice |
| Friday, December 08, 2006 |
As you probably know by now I'm very concerned with "personal financial heath". With the possible exception of most CEOs and the entire Saudi royal family everyone needs to keep their financial house clean and organized (i.e., eliminate bad debt).
Check out some very good thoughts from Debbie's blog and also this one she did.
Oh, and what I mean by "bad debt" is there is good debt and bad debt. The best example of good debt is a home mortgage. The reasons include tax treatment benefits, usually very low interest rates, and an underlying asset that usually is growing faster than the interest rate.
Bad debt is every credit card out there. Period.
People often ask me how I was able to retire at 39. Well one of the main reasons is that Stef and I made a commitment to never have a balance on our credit cards. And for the past 10+ years we never have. |

That's amazing that you have stayed out of cc debt for that long. We only have one more bad debt to go. It's a great feeling.

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."
