Debt Management
The saying, “Debt is Good” is correct!!
Provided it is managed and has a real purpose in a person’s lifestyle
and wealth creation.
It is very wise to pay out a home mortgage (principal place of residence)
as early as possible because the interest paid on that loan is not a tax-deductible
debt.
Credit card debts are a real concern today as people’s spending habits
increase beyond the level of earnings. Management of spending, and in particular
Credit Card usage is critical as people tend to lose track of their spending
until a statement arrive … by this time it’s all a little too
late.
There is no simpler way to manage debt than to know, what and where your
spending is.
We believe investment debt is ‘Good Debt’ but
would not be recommending this unless you have completed a ‘Personal Lifestyle
Budget’, have your spending habits well maintained, and have a sound investment
strategy that is matched to your Risk Profile and structured to achieve your
goals and objectives. Be responsible when borrowing to invest!!
