Stewarding Debt – Reacting to Dave Ramsey
Today, we listen to a clip from Dave Ramsey’s radio show.
In it, Dave is asked if there is such a thing as “good debt,” especially if the interest on the debt is low.
Mathematically, there is an objective truth: borrowing at a low rate to invest at a higher rate of return works. It is a wise use of leverage. But does that make the debt “good?”
We answer the question, unpack Dave’s response, and seek to understand the realities of risk tolerance, wise financial philosophy, and fear.
