What is debt?

Debt is an amount of money borrowed by one party from another. It is used by many individuals and corporations as a method of making large purchases that they could not afford under normal circumstances. A debt arrangement gives the borrowing party permission to borrow money under the condition that it is to be paid back at a later date, usually with interest.
