Are you struggling with debt?
The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield interviewed Galileo Capital Financial Advisor Warren Ingram for his weekly personal finance feature.
Ingram discussed the difference between "good debt", "bad debt" and "neutral debt".
He also discussed debt consolidation - the refinancing of debt by taking out one loan to pay off many others.
There are a number of advantages (e.g. lower cost of debt, simplicity, etc.) and, of course, a few disadvantages.
Listen to the interview in the audio below (and/or scroll down for quotes from it).
