20/20 Money Episode #248 – How Ignoring Interest Rate Arbitrage and Focusing on the Emotion of Paying Off Debt Can Accelerate Savings and Wealth Creation With Dr. Matt Mitchell, OD
August 7, 2023
Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Matt Mitchell, OD. Matt joins me back on the show in response to a very thoughtful piece of feedback he sent me about his view on debt and money after listening to a number of episodes of the show. Matt’s been a long-time listener of the show and has also been a guest a number of times. I really appreciated Matt sending the feedback and rather than dialogue about it 1:1, I thought his viewpoint would make for a very enjoyable conversation to share with the entire community of 20/20 Money listeners. We talk about Matt’s journey to being debt free, what caused him to change course, the impact it’s had on him and his family, how he views investments back into the practice, how he thinks about the opportunity cost of waiting by paying cash rather than financing purchases, and other viewpoints.
