Escape debt and start investing

Practical sequence to reorganize finances before allocating capital to investments.

Investing while carrying expensive debt is like running with a backpack full of rocks. Sequence matters: stabilize cash flow, eliminate or renegotiate high-cost liabilities, build a minimum reserve, and only then allocate to investments.

Suggested order

There is no single formula — debt with interest above any expected return takes absolute priority over investments.

  • 1. List all debts with balance, rate, and installment amount.
  • 2. Renegotiate or consolidate anything with an abusive effective cost.
  • 3. Avalanche method (highest interest first) or snowball (smallest balance) — choose what you can sustain.
  • 4. Minimum emergency reserve (1–3 months of essential expenses).
  • 5. Conservative, automated investments with the surplus.
