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.

I agree, I see debt as a necessary evil at times, everyone's situation and ability to handle that debt is different and sadly I think too many people aren't informed enough to be making big-purchase decisions.
