Today I had a meeting with a friend of mine who teaches economics at university.
He believes when the inflation rate rises that's profitable to take a loan even with high interest to buy other assets such as gold, bitcoin, and even real estate. On one side of this theory, we usually suggest people never invest money that they can't afford to lose and don't invest the money that does not belong to them for many reasons. These are golden tips and useful in any market.
But the question is what if you do not own enough money for investing? can you take a loan and invest?
Because if you look deeply into charts of inflation rates in most the countries you can easily understand taking loans even with high interests could be useful and profitable.
Personally, I don't suggest doing this because using other people's money will put me under stress and this can have negative effects on my decisions. What do you think?
Debt is debt. What I mean is that no matter how you take debt, it will always put you under an obligation. That needs to be managed by taking the right amount, from the right lenders and for the right time and interest rate.
A completely different matter is the technical effect of inflation, which is very beneficial for the debtor, as long as the income that serves the debt increases with inflation (typically salaries, rents, ...), but careful if used to buy bitcoin, shares or bonds!
Yeah, no matter in what form it would be it will still be considered debt and its your obligation to pay no matter what thats why its important that you should think twice or thrice whenever you do decide on taking one.
Be sure that you could able to repay on the right time to avoid some interest problems due to those delays.Its not bad to take some loan for some investment but at least you should make or do your own research.
Take loan if you are responsible enough on repaying those in time or you wont see it as a problem but if its opposite then better skip out.
