Debt is empowering?

Here in Canada - some facts on money made me cringe.

Average credit card debt - $26,000.

Youngsters saying they feel 'empowered' by the amount of debt they carry. Quoi?

RE is the way to get rich, without working. Huh>?

Debt kills. Trouble is, there is such as a thing called "Generational Myopia" - every 20 years or so, people forget about busts.

Vancouver crashed hard in 1980. It is crashing across the Country now - but no one is talking about it...instead people think that RE is the way to get rich.

NOPE.

Never put all your assets in an illiquid asset - DOH!
