How can paying down high-interest debt be beneficial?

Stock

Paying down high-interest debt can be beneficial for a number of reasons. As Adam Nash, CEO and co-founder of Daffy, explains in his blog post "When is debt good and when is it bad?", debt should be viewed as a powerful financial tool that can sometimes be dangerous. High-interest debt, such as credit card debt, can quickly spiral out of control if not managed properly. By paying down this type of debt, you can avoid the potential pitfalls of bankruptcy and financial instability. However, not all debt is bad. For instance, mortgages and student loans can be seen as investments that will increase in value over time. The key is to use debt sparingly and wisely, ensuring that you can afford to pay it off and that it is contributing to your overall financial growth. This is where Daffy comes in.
