For generations, mortgages and student loans have been held up as textbook examples of “good debt,".This borrowing promises to build wealth or increase your earning power over time. On the other side of the coin is so-called “bad debt”, things like auto loans or credit card debt that don’t provide a financial return over time. As the costs of buying a home and getting a degree have continued to climb, more Americans are questioning whether those “good debt” investments are actually paying off.
