Leveraging & gearing

Leveraging or Gearing is a term often used in the Financial world but what does it mean and how do you, or can you benefit from it? People often fear borrowing money as it creates a commitment that they feel uncomfortable with. This often stems from our parents philosophy i.e. "If you can't afford to pay cash for it you can't have it". Unfortunately this "philosophy" can be flawed. Their outlook on debt is still true today if you take on bad debt but can be very counter productive when it comes to "good debt". . .more >
