This episode is about reshuffling your debt stack in a way that frees up cash flow, takes advantage of interest arbitrage, and gets you to your goals faster. We walk through how rethinking which debts get your extra dollars — based on deductibility, interest rates, and after-tax cost — can save you thousands every year and unlock breathing room. Key moments: (01:32) Deductible debt vs. non-deductible debt, and how mis-prioritizing payments can work against you (06:43) The math behind why paying a 5% student loan is equivalent to a risk-free 8-9% return (11:50) Why inflation can actually benefit debt-holders with significant assets (13:56) Restructuring mortgage debt near retirement to delay Social Security and maximize benefits (17:17) When it's okay to ignore the math: behavioral finance and the psychology of debt payoff There's no one-size-fits-all for wealth. Get the plan that fits you. Try SLP Wealth risk-free! Like the show? There are several ways you can help!
