Debt can indeed increase your wealth through leverage.
As long as
1 your return is higher than your borrowing cost and
2.you have sufficient cash to ensure bills/interest gets paid .
But if borrowing costs exceed earnings you can go backwards very quickly.
If you can't make the cash bill payments you have to sell investments at the current price regardless if it's massively discounted.
