I've got some debt and I want to invest, which should I do first?

Should I pay off my debt first or should I invest first?

And how do I figure out the answer to that question? Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast. My name is Joshua Sheets.

Today is Tuesday, November 4, 2014.

This is episode 95 of the show, and today is an interview with Joe,

aka Rebel Spy, one of the lead moderators in the Money Mustache forums.

We're going to continue our early retirement FAQ series and talk about whether I should

invest first or pay off debt first.

It's a pretty good conversation.

Joe and I are excited to bring you this show today.

We've recorded this previously, so you'll hear the recording.

And this is one of the most common questions that practically just about anybody has.

And especially it's common in the you know in the space

where people are paying attention to their money and they're focusing on their

money and they're trying to figure out what should I be doing? What should I be doing

first?

And this is a big question.

And unlike what maybe you might believe,

it's not necessarily a simple answer and I think you'll find that out in

today's show that there are a lot of different aspects that really for a

comprehensive discussion of it really should be considered.

This is a continuation of the Early Retirement FAQs series that I'm recording with Joe.
