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.

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?
