Understanding Loan Affordability and the Impact of Good and Bad Debt
These articles discuss how loans can either build wealth or increase financial strain depending on their purpose, cost, and affordability. They emphasize assessing loan interest rates, total repayment, and whether EMIs fit comfortably within budgets. Home and education loans are often seen as beneficial if they support asset building or future income, while borrowing for consumption can be riskier. Buyers are advised to make substantial down payments and consider rising interest rates to maintain manageable EMIs and avoid debt traps.
