Rhys wants you to know
My first auto loan was from a used car dealership. I didn't fully understand the lending process when I walked in, and because of that I got stuck with a term that was way longer than I wanted to be paying off my starter car. My second time around I did my research, got an excellent rate and a medium term, and I’ve paid off my car well before I want to trade it in.
Your debt doesn't have to be tied to guilt — there are ways to ease it and empower yourself by being strategic about what and when you borrow.
