This is the Daily Note.

I'm James A.

Brown.

We live in a nation built on borrowed money and borrowed time.

Mortgages, student loans, credit cards.

Debt isn't failure anymore.

It's our fuel.

We spend decades paying for the right to feel middle class.

We measure success in square footage.

Even when the bank owns the floor, the system keeps turning, powered by the promise that someday, maybe someday, it'll even out.

But it rarely does.

So it leaves me thinking that maybe the richest people are the ones who owe no one.

So what do you think?

Are we building lives or just financing them?
