Understanding Good Debt: How Borrowing Wisely Can Help Build Wealth"

Debt can be a scary word, but not all debts are created equal. Some types of debt can actually be beneficial and help you achieve your financial goals. In this blog post, we’ll explore what is good debt and how it can be used to your advantage.

What is Good Debt?

Good debt is any debt that is used to acquire an asset or investment that will increase in value over time or provide long-term benefits. In other words, good debt is debt that helps you build wealth or improve your financial situation.

Examples of Good Debt

Student Loans

Student loans are a type of good debt because they help you invest in your education, which can lead to higher earning potential and career opportunities. Of course, it's important to manage your student loan debt wisely and avoid taking out more than you need.

Mortgages

A mortgage is a type of good debt because it allows you to purchase a home, which can increase in value over time and serve as a valuable asset. Additionally, owning a home provides long-term benefits, such as stability and the ability to build equity.

Small Business Loans

Small business loans can be a good debt if they are used to start or expand a profitable business. A successful business can generate income and provide financial security for years to come.

Car Loans

While a car loan is not typically considered an investment, it can be a type of good debt if it allows you to purchase a reliable vehicle that you need for work or other important activities.

Why is Good Debt Important?

Good debt is important because it can help you achieve your financial goals and build wealth over time. By using debt strategically, you can acquire valuable assets and investments that can provide long-term benefits.

It’s important to note that not all debt is good debt. High-interest credit card debt, for example, can quickly become a burden that eats away at your income and savings. It’s important to be cautious when taking on any type of debt and only borrow what you can afford to repay.

Final Thoughts

Debt can be a valuable tool for achieving your financial goals, but it’s important to use it wisely. Good debt can help you acquire valuable assets and investments that can provide long-term benefits and improve your financial situation. By being strategic and responsible with your debt, you can build wealth and achieve financial security over time.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

But HP is still in business. Apple is still in business. Google is still in business. Microsoft is still in business. IBM is still in business. Facebook is still in business.

We don’t have those controlled burns anymore. Yesterday’s giants tower over all, forming a thick canopy. The internet is “five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four.”

These tech companies have produced a lot of fire-debt. Over and over, they erupt in flames—in this short decade alone, every one of our tech giants has experienced a privacy scandal that should have permanently disqualified it from continuing to enjoy our patronage (and I do mean every one of them, including the one that spends millions telling you that it’s the pro-privacy alternative to the others).

Privacy is just one way that these firms are enshittifying themselves. There are the ghastly moderation failures, the community betrayals, the frauds and the billions squandered on follies.

We hate these companies. We hate their products. They are always on fire. They can’t help it. It’s the curse of bigness.

Companies cannot unilaterally mediate the lives of hundreds of millions — or even billions — of people, speaking thousands of languages, living in hundreds of countries.

something i love about (at least a few of) lou wilson's dnd characters is that they always start out with a fun and interesting concept that would make a great character in its own right

and then lou says, "you know what would be hilarious?" and creates the most devastating, heartbreaking, stress-inducing, tragic backstory for said character

and i eat it up every time

Picture this; Bones holding Joanna, rocking her to sleep and the part in Beautiful Boy where it’s like “The monster's gone, He's on the run, And your daddy's here” is playing. :,)

Fatherhood gives you certain... skills. Coincidentally, this is also how Jim finds out that Bones sings.

:'))
