Look up the word "savings". It is possible to rent a cheap apartment, buy a used car, and wait until you can afford better things. Obviously some people are going to run into financial difficulties if they have unexpected extraordinary bills. The vast majority of things in life are however, expected. Nothing is new under the sun. The overwhelming debt of the world increases costs. Additionally, debt temporarily tricks most people into thinking they have more than they actually do. I think more people would be interested in working harder for better jobs or opportunities if it wasn't so easy to get whatever you want by signing a piece of paper.
