Episode 3120: Paula Pant challenges extreme attitudes toward debt, showing how both blind borrowing and rigid debt aversion can hurt your financial future. With a nuanced perspective, she explores how strategic debt, particularly in education, can lead to massive returns, but only if you carefully evaluate the risks, opportunities, and real-life trade-offs. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://affordanything.com/debt-is-a-good-thing/ Quotes to ponder: "Both attitudes will make you poor." "It’s much easier to get in debt than it is to get out." "Your house is a lousy investment. But a student loan has the potential to provide amazing returns."
