I found this article from equitymaster to be simple and sense. Although the question of making money will always be there regardless of whether you are in debt or not, what we need to think over is all the major corporations in the world run their businesses on debt financing.

So I would put it this way, investing in stock market is not a bad option in whatever situation you are in provided you have a sound knowledge of the stock market functionality, technical analysis etc.
