   Avoiding debt is important to prevent additional problems but sometimes acquiring debt is necessary especially if you got into unforeseen emergency or you got into a situation where you need a large sum and you do not have enough available cash on hand. So the debt that you need is the one where can pay it on an installment basis. Some debt needs you to pay in full and this kind of debt is difficult because acquiring wholesome amount to pay is hard. So it is better to those who let you pay on an installment basis.

   Debt has always been the result when there is a lack of money and a situation when spending money is a must. It can solve problems at the moment but create a lot in the future. But it also gives more time to prepare to solve the problems in the future like paying on the installment basis. This way the burden of paying large sum of money is lessen. If possible, all options, all alternatives should be considered first and only resort to debt when out of options. This way further problem can be avoided. Learning also to prioritize and having self-discipline can help avoiding debt. Also learning to make debt work on your favor is the best idea like acquiring a real state through debt then having it rented to some clients and pays the monthly amortization with the monthly rent from that real state.
