No. It doesn't.
Your example just said that debt can hurt you in that scenario if it means taking in less debt.
Good job using a random investment term. Here's a good one for you: confirmation bias. It IS killing you. ...

 | re: Going to withdraw my 401k - TheHiddenFlask on 4/9/13 at 1:38 pm The irony of him paying down debt due to his fears of hyperinflation is that it is the absolute opposite of what you would want to do in that situation.
Being a net debtor is optimal in hyper inflation.

 | re: Going to withdraw my 401k - TheHiddenFlask on 4/9/13 at 10:38 am I suggest cashing it out and putting it all in bit coins and dinars.

 | re: CFA Check in thread. - TheHiddenFlask on 4/8/13 at 7:53 pm The CFA is definitely comparable to the CPA.
