    This math only maths if your income keeps pace with inflation. Otherwise you’re getting priced out of living. Even if in relative terms your debt is shrinking, that doesn’t make you better off on its own.

      Yeah, that’s where the kinda comes in. From experience, when you’ve got that much debt you tend to lowkey want to watch the world burn, so you’ve got that going too.
