If you want to be strategic here, your lender shouldn’t really determine how much you should lend. I feel  it should depend on your income and expenses. Generally, financial experts suggest you shouldn’t borrow more than 36% of your inflow, I mean income, including all your loans and debts. But I know everyone’s situation is different. It’s important to only take on debt you can handle without stress. Also monitor your budget and make sure you can make the payments comfortably.

The ideal amount of debt varies based on individual circumstances and business goals. It’s prudent to manage debt in proportion to the business’s ability to generate income and meet financial obligations. A common metric is the debt-to-equity ratio, but there is no universally applicable average amount of debt, as it depends on factors such as industry norms, business size, and risk tolerance…..

There is no single “average” amount of debt that is appropriate for everyone. However, there are some general guidelines on manageable debt levels:
– Debt-to-income ratio – Your total monthly debt payments (mortgage, credit cards, student loans, etc.) should not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income. The lower, the better.
– Revolving credit card debt – Aim to keep credit card balances below 30% of your available credit limit on each card. Below 10% is even better for credit scores.
– Mortgage debt – Your total mortgage debt should be no more than 2.5-3x your annual income. Some experts say keep it below 28% of monthly income.
– Student loan debt – Student debt levels vary greatly, but borrowers with over $80,000 in loans often struggle. Keep payments under 10% of monthly income.
– Auto loans – Car payment plus insurance should aim to be below 10-15% of your take home pay. Loans over 5 years significantly increase interest costs.
– Personal loans – Personal loan payments plus other debt payments should stay under 15-20% of monthly income. These loans can carry high interest.
– Payday loans – Avoid payday loans if possible. They carry astronomical interest rates and cycle borrowers into debt traps.
Your age, income stability, other assets, risk tolerance and stage of life also affect how much debt you can manage. The key is keeping debt in check compared to your income.
