Episode notes
Move If Landlord Won't Solve Infestations
- If your rental has building-wide infestations and management won't fix it, pursue moving and hold the landlord accountable.
- Use the move as temporary setback then accelerate debt payoff once relocated.
Don’t Relocate Cross-Country Just To Save
- Don't move across the country primarily to save money without clear numbers; taxes and selling costs often erase benefits.
- Consider the non-financial reasons before making a major relocation with kids.
House Payoff Is A Values Choice
- Paying off a house early is a values decision, not a must; balance timeline with life plans like having kids.
- You can aim for aggressive payoff but don't delay major life goals solely for mortgage freedom.
