The document discusses bad debt and how to get rid of it. It defines bad debt as debt that does not increase net worth, has no future value, and that cannot be paid. Examples include credit cards, auto loans, and store credit cards. It recommends using a debt-to-income ratio metric to determine how much bad debt is too much, which is calculated by dividing total monthly debt payments by monthly gross income. A ratio over 43% is a red flag. Steps to get rid of bad debt include prioritizing bills, creating a budget, increasing income or reducing expenses, addressing collection calls, and exploring repayment/modification programs.
