    Just a small correction there: debt can never be good.

    But debt can be necessary, but that is only because some financial institutions have made it so, because many of them make their money from peoples debt.

    So they spread the myth that debt is good, despite the fact that the world would be a far better place without debt.

      Absolutely false. Debt is a tool. It’s a wealth multiplier.

      You can use tools incorrectly, and that can harm you. But used correctly, they can let you do things quicker and easier than you could have without them.

      No, debt can be good. If you’re making more money from an asset than the interest on the loan used to buy that asset, it’s good debt.
