Se incurre en gastos solo cuando el gasto se percibe como algo negativo. Los medios de comunicación utilizan habitualmente la expresión incurrir en gastos como simple sinónimo de "gastar" [...] y no de "gastar indebidamente", que es su significado preciso. [...] Por lo tanto, son adecuadas frases como «Se expone que la petrolera incurrió en gastos que superaban su capacidad institucional» o «Incurrió en gastos excesivos en sobresueldos y dietas» [...] 2, record 1, Spanish, - incurrir%20en%20gastos

La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, señala que en algunos países de América, para referirse a la acción de dejar de pagar se utilizan incorrectamente verbos como defaultear o defoltear, que deben evitarse y usar en su lugar expresiones como suspender pagos o incurrir en cesación de pagos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - suspender%20pagos
