I don't think (Hope) there is anyone on here that doesn't understand what side of the balance sheet debt goes on. But there are people who are saying that debt isn't necessarily bad. It certainly isn't the most important factor in determining someone's financial health. ie. you can't look at two people and say that the one with more debt is always worse off.
