Building Lives or Just Financing Them? Let's Chat!
Takeaways:
- We live in a society where debt, like that old pair of jeans, is just a part of everyday life.
- Mortgages, student loans, and credit cards have become the norm, not the exception.
- Debt isn't seen as failure anymore; instead, it's kind of our fuel for living the American dream.
- Are we really building lives or just financing them? That's a question worth pondering every day!
- Success seems to be measured in square footage these days, which is a little wild if you ask me.
- The richest among us might just be those who owe nothing at all, which is food for thought.
