When it comes to the best ways to use money, too many Americans operate under a key misconception, says investment adviser and financial planner Ike Ikokwu.
“Money is opportunity, and having a blind spot for maximizing investment can drastically reduce one’s future options,†says Ikokwu, author of Winning the Money Game: Separating the Myths from the Truth (www.winningthemoneygame.net).
That blind spot is debt, he says. Just as Americans have learned that are such things as good fats and good cholesterol, so too is there good debt for a prosperous financial future.
“The three most common ways people in this country get rich all involve using debt,†he says. “They use it to launch businesses, invest in real estate, or pay for advanced degrees in order to become high-income earners.â€
