Most famous success stories I've heard of or read about involved a bit to a lot of risk taking, some making and losing fortunes more than once. Most wealthy people and 99% of all successful companies use debt as a tool. Like any tool, it can hurt you if you don't know what you're doing. But for those who can manage it, debt, as a tool in your financial tool box, will help you get to where you want to be.


Will you loan me two dollars 'til Tuesday?
