The recent stats I’ve seen show Americans burying themselves in personal debt not dissimilar to 12 years ago. Student loans being the biggest difference. Kids have giant loan balances to enslave them for a loooooooong time. That’s exactly what all debt is, slavery. You are forced to work to pay it off. It reduces your options and flexibility.

The only debt that may not enslave you is investment debt. Real estate or business, but you can get caught with your pants around your ankles. It best be very optimistic calculated risk.
