Can “good debt” help grow wealth?


People do a lot of things with money that isn’t theirs. Often, it’s a recipe for regret. But there are situations where borrowing can be a powerful tool to wealth building. The key is distinguishing between good debt (low interest loans, appreciating assets, tax deductible) and bad debt (high interest loans, consumables with no lasting value). Being fiscally responsible isn’t as fun as a European vacation, but giving yourself financial options down the road is a luxury you’ll never regret.


Managing debt is a financial equation that can have complex emotional baggage. Working with an experienced CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER can help you make sense of what strategies will work best for you.
