Debt and Debt Management for Small Businesses
Manage episode 459149710 series 3622743
In Episode #2 of the American Gutter Monkey Radio Hour, Chris and Dennis dive into debt and debt management for personal and business finances. They discuss how understanding when to use debt strategically, and when to avoid it, is key to financial success. With 39% of Americans carrying credit card debt month-to-month, often with high-interest rates, the episode explores the consequences of poor debt management.
Chris and Dennis reflect on how debt has evolved, from home mortgages in previous generations to today’s wide variety of debts, including student loans and credit cards. They share how businesses can leverage debt for growth using options like SBA loans and lines of credit, based on their own experience scaling their business.
The episode concludes with advice on maintaining strong cash flow and savings. Their key message: sales are king, cash flow is the steering wheel, and debt should be the spare tire—a tool, not the driver of your business.
