"You never want to pay high interest rates to keep the option for low-interest rate debt. Plus, you don’t actually need to!" "My rule of thumb is to first secure a decent emergency fund, then pay down high-interest (+9%) or variable rate debt, and then make sure you are putting away at least 10% for retirement."
