Bad Debt Makes You Poor/The ABC's of Getting Out Of Debt (370 hits)

"Bad debt is something you pay off yourself. Credit cards, car loans, consumer loans, and home mortgages are examples of bad debt. Some bad debt is better than other bad debt. For example , buying a personal residence is in most cases better than buying a car on credit. And while we are not saying that you shouldn't buy a personals residence on credit, you must remember that a home mortgage is a bad debt because you yourself must pay it off. Bad debt takes money from your pocket, making you poorer and poorer."

Paying off a mortgage is considered bad debt? Interesting.

Ok...purchasing RE seems like a smart investment as it builds equity and is normally worth more when you decide to sell vs when you purchased. Due to our current economic situation many have gotten themselves into bad debt due to refinancing and adjustable rate loans, etc. But I wouldn't categorize the overall purchase of your own home as bad debt at all!
