6. It’s nice to be in debt.
-I don’t agree. I think it’s heavy. (Silja)
- I assume that nobody thinks like that, because being in debt will always cause you trouble. (Jasper)
- I agree with both of you. What kind of problems can you have if you are in debt? (teacher)
-Being in debt really depends on where the debt came. Sure if you would live in a dream world you never would have to be in debt but nowdays its almost inevitable to not be on debt. Houses, cars, studies all costs so much in todays world and its ok to take a small loan for them as long as you are sure that you can pay it back. Its not ideal to be in debt but in my opinion its not the end of the world either. You just have to be sure that its for something good and useful not for a night out with friends or something like that. (Nelli)

-The more experience you have the more easier it becomes to get a well paying job. So every job opportunity you get you should take. (Elli)

- I agree with Ida. Every work is important. (maisa)
10.  The young shouldn’t overspend / live beyond their means.
- It's true because that habit could follow to the adulthood (Anna)
- I agree with Anna I think you should only spend money if you can afford it yourself. Borrowing and lending money can lead to problems. (Elli)
- These are valid points, girls! What do the others think? (teacher)
-I agree that Young people shouldn’t spend money especially money what they don’t have. I think the problem in our current world is that they get it too easy with all of these sites that provides small loans with huge interest. Most people dont even realise the amount of debt they will get in to at the time, they only see easy way to get money. These sites doesn't even take much to give out a loan thats what makes them so desired but at the same time so bad. (Nelli)
-Yeah it's true, young people is hard get job and money becose young peoople keep be in school (Marikki)
-Always think what you really need. (Ronja)
