Default Re: 10 Common Sense Investing Principles

Quote:
Some Debt is Good Debt, But Most Debt is Bad
The mortgage interest deduction is a "losing money" game. For every $100 you pay in interest, you get $25 back (I believe).

I'll do you one better. Pay me $100 and I'll send you back $50.

comparing debt to investing is comparing gasoline tanks to the price of bananas in North Dakota.

Everything said about investing was quite accurate... suggesting people not pay off debt without a discussion of leverage, costs, and overall financial plan is misguided.
