 TITLE: Is There Such a Thing as Good Debt? CONTENT: Good or Bad: It's up to You\n---------------------------\nEven good debt can go bad if you take on more than you can afford. If your mortgage eats up half your salary, or you've taken out $200,000 in student loans to get a degree in 19th century Romanian poetry, that's not so good. To make good debt work for you, be sure to match your debt to your goals, keep your debt-to-income ratio under control, and never take on more debt than you can afford. END
