    In inflationary times debt is good, especially if you have fixed the interest rate on your loan (so long as you can meet repayments). You buy real assets that go up in value and you pay devalued $s to the lenders.

    The last big inflationary period was great for the baby boomers who bought their houses in the 1970s, because it only took a few years to pay off the loans while wages rose rapidly.
