What is the purpose of debt?

What is the purpose of debt?Debt enables you to purchase things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.

Houses

College Education

Emergencies

Cars

What is the cost of debt?


The cost of debt is…


Guess the interest rate on an average car loan?


Guess the interest rate on an average mortgage?


Guess the interest rate on an average student loan?


Guess the interest rate on an average credit card?

How important is the interest rate?

Let’s say you take out a $120k mortgage at the average mortgage rate – 4.38%. How much does that mortgage cost in total,

interest included?

Principal $120,000.00



interest included?

Principal $120,000.00Interest $95,816.58



interest included?

Principal $120,000.00Interest $95,816.58Total $215,818.65


Let’s say you take out that same $120k mortgage at the credit card rate – 16.71%. How much does that mortgage cost in total,

interest included?

Principal $120,000.00



interest included?

Principal $120,000.00Interest $485,730.42



interest included?

Principal $120,000.00Interest $485,730.42Total $605,730.42

While this is an unrealistic scenario (you would never buy a house on a credit card), it shows the importance of the interest rate.

How does debt impact net worth?


A good use of debt enables a purchase of an asset that retains value or adds to your net worth long after the debt has been paid off.

For instance, a home retains value for many years. A college education enables you to earn more money and build your net worth.

That pair of shoes you bought on a credit card is going to be worth almost nothing after just a few uses! This is destructive to your net

worth.
