American Debt

This weekend, the NYT goes chart crazy in -- "A series about the surge in consumer debt and the lenders who made it possible" -- looking at the economy, debt, housing, etc.

Never had a car loan. Never had a mortgage - paid cash for the house. Never had credit card debt that wasn't paid off in total each month. I recommend this lifestyle!
