无特定发言人
Scott: Scott认为负债并非全是坏事，尤其是在低利率环境下，利用杠杆投资于增值资产（例如房地产）可以有效对抗通货膨胀，并加速实现财务自由。他分享了自己数百万美元的投资性房产抵押贷款，并强调了其低利率和良好的现金流。他认为，只要风险可控，并且有足够的储备金应对意外情况，那么适度的负债是可取的。
Amanda: Amanda的观点比较务实，她认为处理债务的方式取决于个人的财务状况和心理感受。她建议在低利率环境下，可以优先投资，但高利率债务（例如信用卡债务）则应优先偿还。她强调，财务规划需要考虑数学上的最优解，也要考虑债务带来的心理压力。
Kyle: Kyle强调了个人行为模式对财务规划的重要性，他认为没有放之四海而皆准的策略，需要根据个人背景、目标和风险承受能力来调整。他分享了自己早期优先偿还债务的经历，以及后来更注重利用杠杆投资和风险管理的转变。他强调了储备金的重要性，以及在不同人生阶段调整策略的必要性。
Mindy: Mindy的观点侧重于控制支出和增加投资，并在早期承担了一些投资风险。她认为，在财务自由的道路上，需要根据自身情况调整策略，并强调了储备金的重要性。
Scott: Scott believes that debt is not always bad, especially in a low-interest-rate environment. Leveraging debt to invest in appreciating assets (such as real estate) can effectively hedge against inflation and accelerate the path to financial independence. He shared his millions of dollars in mortgages on investment properties, emphasizing their low interest rates and good cash flow. He believes that moderate debt is acceptable as long as the risk is manageable and there are sufficient reserves to deal with unexpected situations.
Amanda: Amanda's perspective is more pragmatic. She believes that how to deal with debt depends on an individual's financial situation and psychological feelings. She suggests that in a low-interest-rate environment, it is possible to prioritize investment, but high-interest debt (such as credit card debt) should be repaid first. She emphasizes that financial planning needs to consider the optimal solution mathematically, but also the psychological pressure brought by debt.
Kyle: Kyle emphasizes the importance of individual behavioral patterns in financial planning. He believes that there is no one-size-fits-all strategy and that it is necessary to adjust according to individual background, goals, and risk tolerance. He shared his experience of prioritizing debt repayment in the early days and the later shift to focusing on leveraged investment and risk management. He emphasizes the importance of reserves and the need to adjust strategies at different stages of life.
Mindy: Mindy's perspective focuses on controlling spending and increasing investment, and she took some investment risks in the early days. She believes that on the path to financial independence, it is necessary to adjust strategies according to one's own situation, and she emphasizes the importance of reserves.
