Before anyone worries about compound interest working for them, they should eliminate it working against them. In my humble opinion.

Yep....👏👏👏...100% One of the most overlooked changes that's occurred over my lifetime is the universally accepted definition of "afford".....
My Ford dealer hunting buddy recently told me this. The number 1 concern of the vast majority of his customers is one thing...."what's the payment?" A Toyota master mechanic also told me recently that Toyota is now offering 10 year financing....10 years? On a vehicle?
Financing a business is understandable and quite often necessary, an absolute. 15/30 @ 2%/3% on a home is understandable, but, 10 years on a vehicle....boat....etc?
I just have a hard time getting a handle around this "stacking debt" mindset. However, it's not any of my biz....
IMOP, it ain't going to end pretty for a lot of folks....
