Financial advice I DON’T automatically subscribe to as a finance girly:
• Never use credit cards
• Pay cash for your house—or pay your mortgage off as fast as humanly possible
• All debt is bad debt
• Never finance a car
• Wait for interest rates to drop before buying a home
Personal finance is personal. Good financial advice should take your income, goals, cash reserves, risk tolerance, timeline, and actual life into consideration—not just repeat a rule somebody heard 20 years ago.
And yes, I know some of y’all are going to disagree with me on these. That’s kind of the point. 😂
