Jim Bucci Paying off debt vs. investment Most of us come to this crossroads in life, which, with the excess money, is it appropriate to repay debt or invest. Joshua Kennon, a management consultant debt is of the opinion below. Debt can be categorized into two types with a high interest rate, and the second low interest rates. Credit cards belong to the first category, they require higher interest rates and, hence, if a person has more debts as credit card repayment, it is only advisable for him to go ahead and pay interests arising from the credit card and not think about the investment. In the case of the second category of debt, which is low then it is desirable that invests in such investment, which gives higher yields. Cardin says two things must be taken into account, a. What is the rate of return on investment? b. What is the interest rate on the various debts? Only if an individual can be convinced that the payment of a debt would help him to reduce certain expenses and thereby increase the monthly amount saved. According debt adviser Steve Bucci. There are two methods, which a person can take, we pay the same kind of debt ie debt with similar interest rates, which are smaller and easier in the amount payable. The second is to pay one, which has interest rates as credit cards. Accordingly, when a person paying a number of debts, then he feels good about himself and you can start focusing on the amount of debt coming due or investment that would engage in . In case of debts, which attracts a higher interest rate, a person may pay the first one he ends up with more money later, so he can concentrate on other debts. But whatever the choice of the individual must choose one, which suits him most, and can provide more convenience. Steve Bucci also advises that the repayment of debt should reflect the person's credit rating. When a person starts to pay the debts to the lender then he ends up with less debt and its credit rating will increase. This would in turn help in the long term when it should take a greater debt for other types of investment. Posted on March 16, 2010.
