WEDNESDAY - Where is the power at?
It is an uncomfortable subject, but one that is on the minds of all college football fans: What will the 2020 season look like? Will it be played as scheduled? Might there be a delay to the start of the season, followed by a shortened season? And heaven forbid, there is one really bad possibility (although we don't think it will come to that). Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss why pro sports leagues planning to start in June could be what paves the way for college sports to start this fall. Also on the show: * Defensive end Tunmise Adeleye -- the No. 41 ranked recruit in the country in the 2021 class -- became the 16th commitment for the Buckeyes in their No. 1-ranked class on Wednesday. He was originally expected to announce his decision in August. * What stood out to JBook regarding Ryan Day's 45-minute teleconference with reporters on Wednesday? * Where do things stand with the other top recruits on OSU's board for 2021? All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Finance and Fury, “Say what Wednesday” Where we answer questions about the world of personal finance. This week, the question isn’t from a listener but a common one recently from people I have been meeting with. Best strategy for surplus cash: to reduce debt or use it to build wealth? Why is it important to ask this first? Finite resources – economic problem Wants and Needs – We have a lot of them Physical things Experiences like travel or going out Resources – A lot of things cost money – Which is typically more limited than our imagination Balancing act – Use what you have to get where you want to be Budget and Cashflow – What is left after everything is paid for? Things that reduce your cashflow Taxes – Decreases what you have left Lifestyle costs Debt – Mortgage What is spent on each, versus what is important Now versus future needs – Your now needs will seem more important Uses of disposable income – A hard decision Factors that should help to determine: Stage of life and the timeline Priority The options of cashflow Reduce debt – More defensive Build wealth – More expansive Breaking down the options for each Types of debt Bad – Something against a non-investment asset which doesn’t generate an income Good – Is it against something increasing in value, and can I claim the expenses? Yes to both = Good debt which is a form of building wealth Build wealth – Investments Monthly investments Salary sacrifice - Super Using leverage = More debt What to focus your cash flow on Goals How long until debt has to be paid off Savings Good – Pay down in time to retire, but wait until the last minute to start Bad – Pay down ASAP, but not at the expense of investments Investment – What are the income needs in retirement? Hard to work out: Rough guideline – Rule of 20: $X amount of passive income multiplied by 20 Multiply this number by 1 plus the inflation rate to the power of the number of years until retirement How long do you have? Great to start early. Answering the question: Should I pay down debt or invest it? Ask yourself if it is debt or investment as the priority to reach your financial goals? Am I on track to retire with enough invested? Yes – Means you have enough to cover what you will need No – You may need to focus on investments more Look at the timeframes you have to work within Do you have bad debt? Yes, will it be paid off before retirement? Do you need to pay this off quicker? How much, and by when? If it is good debt, will the investment be able to pay for itself before retirement? Or, will the income be needed to provide a passive income? i.e. used to live Putting it all together: Rules of thumb. Remember, this is not advice, but just some guidelines: Bad debt is always bad. Good debt declines in value the closer you are to retirement. But if used correctly, can decrease the time until retirement. Example: Person with $520,000 mortgage, just bought first place so they have a 30 year time horizon Long term rates of 7%, repayments of $3,462 p.m Option 1: Pay $20,000 onto a loan, or invest the money – 30 years Loan – rate of 7% long term rate and P&I, versus lower rate 7%: 30 years would save you $123,301 in interest and 3 years – If you kept your repayments the same 5%: 30 years would save you $63,787 in interest and same 3 years – If you kept your repayments the same Option 2: Investment – Put $20,000 into portfolio, getting 8% p.a. for 30 years 30 years would be around $186k to $200k invested. Taxes on investment income – Return: 4% Income + 4% growth, income will be taxed. Either fund through cash flow Or use investment income to pay for What's even better? Pay down the loan and redraw the funds as separate investment loan. Convert debt to good debt. – Debt recycling that we have covered Have best of both situations – Have investment, and while paying interest it is deductible. You would have the $200,000 in investments and pay the loan with $123,301 of deductible interest along the way. Depending on MTR: lowest marginal tax rate: $25,893 to $57,950 at the top. Summary – Remember this isn’t advice, just things to think about: Should you pay debt or invest your cash? Long time – Invest but not at expense of Bad debt costing too much Short time – Bad debt, then invest or pay down good debt, or both.

We know what you're thinking..."Isn't it Wednesday? Where's the intro? No music?" Well none of that matters because this episode will make your ears tingle and you feel things emotionally that you haven't felt in years. It's the FIRST EVER Pop_Not Soda episode without Brett! We know, you're welcome! Brian and Dan are at the helm and they don't waste a minute. They dive right into Dan's empty apartment, rank all of the new fall TV shows (on a scale from Party of Five to 90210), Brian reviews DC's hot mess Suicide Squad (and of course Dan is sympathetic to it) and then the guys phone a contest to compete in the first ever round of 'Star Wars or Florida!' (thank you Rotten Tomatoes for the idea). It's a once in a lifetime episode that you will not want to miss!
