An interesting and dangerously formulated read.

I DO agree however with the writer's basic summation of financial servitude.

We do tend to entrap ourselves is financial debt.

That's a matter of choice and there are a lot of stupid people who buy into the debt = wealth fantasy. I was raised to be frugal and have few luxuries other than those I want enough to pay for.

Debt is a choice. You don't have to trap yourself in financial debt in the USA. People who trap themselves in debt, by and large, do it to themselves because they cannot or will not identify the difference between a "want" and a "need". In Europe, the gubmint insures that you are trapped in their debt from which there is no escape. I know a lot of Europeans, I've traveled and worked in many countries around the world and Europeans are, by far, some of the most miserable people I have ever met.
