I have realized that for quite some time now debt is the new currency.
But I tend to do my own thing and say F the trend a lot.
Got this crazy idea one day in 2008 when I owed $140,000 on a $120,000 house that this game is unwinnable and to keep doing this would be insane. So we got a house we could almost buy outright.
As a result I have no credit card debt, our house is paid off, we have no car payments, no rent. Just taxes.
I enjoy something most Americans under the age of "pensioner" never experience. That is not giving a large chunk of my income to some bank.
