Understanding Debt Types

Debt can range from mortgage loans to credit cards and buy now, pay later schemes. Common issues arise when individuals borrow from family or friends, leading to strained relationships when repayments are not made promptly. While many perceive debt negatively, it can serve as a useful financial tool when utilized correctly, such as for investment purposes. However, it's crucial to distinguish between productive debts, like loans for income-generating assets, and detrimental debts that incur high interest rates without providing value.
