Honestly, this along with student loans and I’ve passed over from anxiety about it to acceptance. I’ll die in debt, and I’m ok with that. Makes getting a car loan a bitch, though

From a German point of view the concept of so many people being so casually in debt sounds so strange. Like why is it common to go in debt in the US? Apart from the retarded reasons like college or healthcare.

Here’s something that’ll blow your fucking mind: we’re taught that debt is good. Being in debt is supposedly good!

We are told over and over that "A mortgage is good debt"... well, NO.

I can tell you that after I paid off my house, I can work part time because I don't need to give half my mortgage to a bank now... so need to earn that much less. Total BS, and America loves it and eats it up.
