Loved the show as ever guys. Joe – did you agree on the point made by your guests regarding investing before you have paid down debt? In my opinion, It sounded on the show like you weren’t convinced…
I’ve been investing with Loyal3 since the beginning and had some pretty good results. I just wrote an article about how I racked up 100,000 miles and $200 with Loyal3.
