From my perspective, debt for a home makes a lot of sense. Even if you buy a house when you're poor (like we did), the monthly payment will be just a bit more than renting. Give it a few years and soon 50% or so of your payment is building equity. At that point it's kind of like your monthly housing costs have been halved. Rent a room in that house and you're golden.

There are other times when debt makes sense. Like a cash-back credit card that you pay off monthly. And... I guess can't think of anymore.
