A little while back, I was fully engulfed in the rent or buy debate. I had decided on the rent route for a handful of reasons. I explored the neighborhood and I am back to looking at buying with a realtor. I am not sure where I will end up, but I have to look to make an educated decision.

In the personal finance world, we have a little mantra you might have seen before. Debt is bad. But is that always the case? I would argue no. Of course, it is better to be debt free than have debt, but sometimes it is necessary to improve your life.
Long before I had this blog, I had a car loan. My old car, a hand-me-down 1990 Volvo Stationwagon with about 200,000 miles, decided to stop working while driving west on Belleview Avenue one summer morning. Fixing it would have cost as much as the car was worth, so I decided to get a brand new one.
