Maximizing your growth based on personal comfort with having debt.

If market growth > mortgage, incentive is to put into the market. If student loans > market, incentive is to pay down loans. If you hav CC debt, that’s probably the highest rate, and any non-retirement account may be best as a lower priority than CC debt.

It depends. There is good use of debt.

I want to leave my captive company. I don’t think I am ready to be totally on my own even with a cluster group etc. There is an option to be subcontractor in another independent company.

It is like “owning your book” but I assume I would pay a high price if I want to totally manage myself in a futu
