===Other considerations=== * Paying down enough debt to get out of D levels of debt also gives you access to the [[Black Market]] again. While the [[Black Market]] is generally very expensive late-game and thus of questionable value, it is still a powerful and possibly pivotal tool, especially with how strong [[Offworld Market]]s get in the late-game. * The game may last for more than one interest tick, in which case paying down debt sooner reduces your principal and prevents the extra interest from compounding. * In situations with more than one opponent, paying down debt not only makes you more expensive to buy, but also makes you less of an immediate threat since you lose the purchasing power of the cash. This may not save you if there are still compelling reasons to target you first, but you might combine this with stock sells or something similar to get someone to switch targets. Surviving longer doesn't necessarily give you a significantly greater chance of winning, though. * All those estimates were done assuming equal future income. If you have reason to believe you're earning more than your (single) opponent, there's no reason to treat a dollar spent by you as equal to an extra dollar he'd need. * All that said, the cash used to pay debt (or buy stock to increase your stock price) obviously comes with an opportunity cost. Funneling all that cash into hacks or using some means to invest that cash into making greater future income can be more effective. Finishing a buy on another player is typically the most important reason to avoid paying debt because delaying that buy encourages your target to sabotage you and make themselves more expensive, and means you're losing out on potential subsidiary income. * Because paying debt raises your base stock price, any opponents who own stock in you will also have increased stock prices due to the stock owned modifier's value increasing.
