All Debt Isn't Bad

By , About.com GuideNovember 6, 2007

Follow me on:

For many people, debt is just another four-letter word they’d like to strike from their vocabularies. Afterall, like most other things that are bad for you, debt is easy to get and hard to get rid of. So debt must be bad, right?

What if someone told you that all debt isn’t bad? Would you believe them? Well, you should, because it’s true. Some types of debt can be good for you and can enable you to build wealth.

You don’t have to be afraid of incurring debt. Rather, you should be cautious about the kinds - and the amounts - of debt you incur. Become familiar with both good and bad debt and make wiser money decisions.
