A Fin24 user asks the question of whether saving is better when debt is paid off or not.
He writes:
I would like to know: is it better to save, or settle debt before saving, or do it at the same time? (The debt is accounts.)
Mark Bishop, Managing Member at Credit Clear responds:
Its always better to get rid your debt as soon as you can - I suppose the question is what debt? Home loans, for example, are some of the "cheapest" debt you can have, so then it may be worthwhile servicing that debt while saving.
