Bakersfield Investment Club Dave Ramsey's Approach to Eliminating Debt and Investing

This is a discussion on whether to prioritize paying off debt or investing in notes or rentals that pay 15-25%. Please visit the link above if you want to participate and have any comments.

Bakersfield Investment Club - Simple vs. Compound Interest Calculator

Most of us have seen a comparison of simple and compound interest, yet there doesn't seem to be a calculator that converts an interest rate directly to see what the real difference is. Manually, I figured out that 23% would become 59% compounded daily. If you have any comments, people go directly to the link above to discuss it further.

Hours continue to rise faster than employment in the private sector.
