Is debt always bad?

Not necessarily. While personal debt like credit cards can be problematic, strategic debt, especially in business or property, can be a tool for wealth creation. Kiyosaki's approach uses debt to acquire assets that generate income or appreciate in value, treating loan proceeds as tax-free income, which is a key part of his strategy.
