You know, the time you are a teenager working for that minimum wage job at McDonalds or some other outfit is the time when most are in the black. From college on, until old age, most of us are in one form of debt or another. Starting with student loans, then mortgage debt, its funny how it was back in the minimum wage days that the assets outweight the liabilities for the most of us. I really appreciate an expansion on this topic as it would be a very relevant read.

The only debts which should be kept are those used for investments that generate higher returns than the interest cost (after tax effects are considered). Leo Tyler
