True. Debt is not bad. "Bad" debt is bad. Debt incurred to start up a successful business is an investment that pays off many times over in the future. maat55 recommended reading The Millionaire Next Door. One thing you'll learn in that book is that a high percentage of millionaires are business owners.

But you must have a solid plan. You can't just make it up as you go along.
