Debt is tricky because there's more than one kind of debt. Owing a loan shark? Bad debt. Having a mortgage? "Good" debt (since equity is built and can be leveraged for more pursuits). Basically anyone getting financial knowledge from Twatter is dumb and deserves to be broke

I have no debt, no land, no car, just $20k worth of furniture/kitchen/computer equipment and $200k in a retirement account.
I almost invested in land in 2010. I would have taken $300k in mortgages but I would now have at least $1.2mm in real estate and a 3-condo vacation rental income scheme. I really should have done that instead of going for IRA and 401k contributions. I probably should have dropped $100 each into Doge and Bitcoin too, I easily wasted $100 on bullshit when I could have just taken a small risk for a huge reward.
Still, at least no debt.

The problem is what is “rich” or “wealth?” Is upper middle class wealthy? Or are we talking about the mega rich trillionaires? Since we can never nail down who exactly is wealthy, they can always just move the goalposts to fit their argument.
>well most people who are doing well don’t have the bad habits you think they do
Then they will claim they were talking about Jeff Bezos.
Yet if you observe actual communist revolutions you notice a lot more people than the elite end up in mass graves. Hell, by the end even just normal lower middle class families have bullets in their heads. If you have anything at all you are wealthy. Meanwhile the lowest dumbest dregs with no impulse control or foresight become the inheritors of society under the boot of the Jews. That’s the commie scam.

>define good debt, and why its good debt?
Good debt is money you borrowed that allows you to make a greater profit than the interest.
Bad debt is money that you take a net loss from borrowing.

IE mortgage.
Renting after 5 years will leave you with a much lower net worth than buying with a 4% mortgage.

>>
>>428415632
What are you talking about? If you're renting you're just straight up burning up to 28% of your income if you have a reasonable rent. More if you're living outside of your means.
If you have a mortgage, you're building wealth from it by paying down your principal, the appreciation of the house, and even a cash flow if you have tenants or a roommate.
Also mortgages are usually cheaper than rent so you have more money to invest even.

>If you have a mortgage, you're building wealth from it by paying down your principal, the appreciation of the house, and even a cash flow if you have tenants or a roommate.
you are basing your assumptions that houses always appreciate in value, we know this is not true. Here is a report from credit suisse, https://www.credit-suisse.com/media/assets/corporate/docs/about-us/media/media-release/2018/02/giry-summary-2018.pdf Data from 1900-2017 shows global real return on real estate after inflation was 1.3%, while stocks returned 5.2%. A house is a great asset but its not an investment, if your financial advisor told you it is, you should get a new financial advisor.

>>428415632
>this only applies if you are renting and not investing into anything else.
No, it applies if you are renting period.
You can't reinvest the money you spend on rent period.
And it costs about the same monthly as a mortgage.

Both housing and the stock market appreciate over time. Both also crash. Does the stock market out perform the housing market? Yes.
But for one, you should NOT have all of your investments in stocks, you need to diversify.
Secondly, as I mentioned, mortgages are generally cheaper allowing you to invest more in other investments.
Thirdly, you're choosing to lose up to 28% of your income on an investment that grows at 10% vs losing 3% of your income to choose and investment that grows at 4%.
Trust me bro, stop renting. If you live at home, I get it but renting is retarded unless you don't have the money to get a mortgage.

This is at most half of what you'd pay in rent. The rest is capital.

That's entirely your subjective circumstances.
If you're migrating a lot for work and don't want to deal with renting then it might be worth it.
Otherwise the mortage is usually the better deal.

I agree and it goes both ways - the issue today though, (at least in canada) is people are "house rich"
>Secondly, as I mentioned, mortgages are generally cheaper allowing you to invest more in other investments.
This doesn't apply in my country, in my country it would take you 25 years at the average salary to save for a deposit on a house, that is if NOTHING changes in those 25 years pertaining to prices, as well as COL, inflation etc.
>Trust me bro, stop renting. If you live at home, I get it but renting is retarded unless you don't have the money to get a mortgage.
I don't rent I bought my house 15 years ago. But renting is not retarded, its not that simple it depends on a lot of things. I worked in finance for 10 years, back then how we would figure out things for investors when it came to the housing situation is to figure out what the unrecoverable cost of home ownership was vs, renting, if you fell within +/- 5% then over the course of a mortgage this was a good long term strategy and an good asset to have. If you didn't then wait until you were in a situation that you did. The notion of buying vs renting, does make sense if you are in a rational market, we are not in a rational market right now. Maybe the US is different but in leafland... the market is fucking insane.

>>428417513
I worded the third point so poorly that I'm just going to clarify.
You're choosing to burn 28% of your income, then use more of your income on a investment growing at 10%.
Versus getting a mortgage where maybe half of that 28% gets burned on interest and escrow while the other half essentially gets invested at about 4%. And nothing is stopping you from still using the rest of your income to invest on stocks.

I hear this argument a lot, but have you ever considered that the world we live in now is so vastly different from those times that they're not even remotely comparable? We've had the Industrial AND Technological revolution since then. The entire globe is connected in ways never thought possible back then. And we have weapons now that could destroy the planet if the people in charge decided to do so. Its way beyond the Roman Empire. I feel like we're in uncharted territory

Zero debt here, bought my house with cash a while back. My wife and I share a car - she works a few blocks from home, I'm WFH, if I want the car I just walk 3 minutes and grab it or drive her in the morning, she has some student loan debt but that's it. We cook almost all our own food, we have a big garden and a greenhouse.

It's pretty fucking comfy.
