“Good Debt” and “Bad Debt.” What’s the difference?

There is a real difference between good debt and bad debt!

When you borrow money to make a purchase that will last and has value it would be considered “good debt”. Two examples would be borrowing money for a mortgage, something that builds equity as the years go by or contributing to your RRSP.

All other types of borrowing would be considered to be “bad debt.” These types of debt would include borrowing to go on a vacation, or using your credit cards for purchases that you do not really “need” but you “want.”
