~~ Strong foundations create room to grow. Looking across this landscape, it’s easy to focus on the flowers. But what allows them to thrive is what you don’t immediately see, the foundation beneath them. Credit card debt works the opposite way. The purchase is visible, but the interest cost often stays hidden in the background.

A few things to consider this week:
• Know your rates — not all debt carries the same cost.
• Identify what’s growing fastest — focus your attention where it can make the biggest impact.
• Create space for your goals — reducing high-interest debt can help strengthen your financial foundation.

It may be best to strengthen the foundation before you need it.
