Good Debt vs. Bad Debt: The Strategy the Rich Use Every Day

Click Here for the Show Notes Remember clutching your Monopoly cash, terrified to land on someone else’s property? Turns out, that’s how most people treat money in real life—hoarding cash instead of using it to build wealth. In this episode, guest host Melissa Nash reveals the critical lesson Monopoly doesn’t teach: the difference between good debt and bad debt. While bad debt (credit cards, car loans) takes money out of your pocket, good debt (like mortgages on income-producing properties) puts money in—month after month. 💡 Key takeaway: The winners in Monopoly—and real life—aren’t cash hoarders. They’re the ones collecting rent. 🎧 Listen now and learn how to turn debt into a wealth-building tool! -------------------------------- Download your FREE copy of:  The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.
