Good debt v Bad debt

There are two kinds of debt; good debt and bad debt.

 What’s good debt?

Good debt is a loan that has the potential to increase your net worth. Your net worth is the value of all your assets minus any outstanding debt.

 What is bad debt? 

Bad debt is borrowing money to purchase depreciating assets, like a new car. The second you drive it out of the dealership, it starts losing value.
