What are some examples of good debt? Buying a house at a very good price with a very low interest, might be one example, as long as it is on a 15 year mortgage and payments are no more than 25% of your take home. What are some others?
Actually, if you can pay cash, even in business or investments, it is much better than debt. With no debt, and six months of living expenses in an emergency fund, you can weather most downturns. Even "good debt" is bad when you lose your job, or have health problems in the family.
