My son & I were joking yesterday - if we have $X.XX for every deviled egg we ate, we'd be rich! 🤣

So...
If every deviled egg you ate yesterday would have wiped away $10k of your student debt... would you be debt free today??

For me - YES 🤣🤣

No deviled eggs?! 😱

Somehow, I feel like I'd still owe. That interest is a killer. Now if we included slices of pumpkin pie into the mix, I might be a little closer.

$10K a pop? That takes care of what I still owe for my diploma, two credit cards, half of the remaining car note. I've got six more in the 'fridge that could make a dent in the house loan principal.

I can never get myself to eat those things... Whatever floats your boat, though.

I'd eat deviled eggs until I turned into a deviled egg.

The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
