Debt is like an Apple taste bite. Tasting first is good. Then you want more of Apple. Debt is pushing the debtors to do it again nd again until you are in chain of debt. This is sometimes sickness of attitude a harmful habit.

Debt is designed to ruin your life and not to help you, it can ruin your financial status and also your family. As long as you don’t need much the money don’t borrow, or else you will suffer in the long run.

Debt is like addiction for me,it may help you for the main time but make most suffering in the long run.Though there are so many kind of debt,it maybe bad or good depends on how you apply it.Also,it maybe financially debt or a good deed by someone that favorably making u debt in return for example someone save your life,so as we usually do,we have to offer a reward as nature to us human individual or for our logical thinking,we did have a debt on that someone for saving our life.

Debt is something like a commitment to pay money, carry goods or render services under implied consensus or agreement. Applying expected income and future procurement power in the present before it was actually been earned. Debt is something an individual may need to acquire which is very necessary in times of financial hardships and must be address once you have the capacity to pay to prevent additional interest rates from blowing up.

Debt is not really helping anyone, especially when you’re paying with interest. By the way, money didn’t replace the barter system cause there are some things that are still being done through that system, but one question – is Bitcoin a barter system?

Philip Pilkington: Let’s begin. Most economists claim that money was invented to replace the barter system. But you’ve found something quite different, am I correct?

David Graeber: Yes there’s a standard story we’re all taught, a ‘once upon a time’ — it’s a fairy tale.

debt in a simple words is something personal,or physical form that you most owed or due to a person or a bank that you must paid in several days or months according to the terms or resolution of the contract.

In my thought, debt is something that you have to pay. With how much the amount you borrow is also the amount of your debt which is compulsory for you to pay.

For me debt is acquiring something by means of borrowing with terms and conditions. At business it is an obligation to pay, if not sunctions and penalties will be dealt according of what is being agreed by both parties.

I find it stunning that debt came before money but it makes sense.

Better said debt was used as money before coin was used as money, according to him.

Most surely, a debt can be of many types including economic, honor, gratitude, etc... Basically, If I do a favour to someone it is likely that he has a debt even if it is not explicit nor enforceable. That makes it a tool for commerce.

Very nice website. Debt was not a system that evolved from the bater exchange but rather a natural system of sense when it comes to transactions. It is like a second nature in us that we would feel a little less when someone owes a thing or money from us. From that psychological state, we adapt by making  things equal and fair.

Debt should not be in our vocabulary and let us not let ourselves drowned to debt, focus on the things that will make us rich and financially free not on those that will put us to mud of debt so use money wisely don't avail credit cards if you cannot control yourself in buying which is not important.

[Neerajkumar]

Debt is the borrowing made from someone and will have to pay it  at some specific time period.It is generally done with the intention to fulfill the needs of the borrower by seeking the help from the lender.
Debt sometimes becomes so vicious that the borrower fails to pay back the money.It creates the problem to the borrower where he finds himself helpless to payback the borrowed money..

That is a great fact. Well for me, people from poverty lines know much more about debt. Lack of supplies, money and necessity will lead to a debt.
Every people cannot avoid to engage in debt and we cannot control it specially if we have no support or financial source.

There is a famous speaker, I recall his last name Kyosaki I think. You need to read a bit of this guy because there is good debt and bad debt. There is debt that will make you rich and there is debt that will make you poor.
