How much debt do you have?

AIBU to think debt is becoming more and more normalised?

a few hundred grands, but that's what a normal mortgage is around here. Of course it's normalised, who can afford to buy a property upfront?

None, I may put things on credit card for security reasons but will pay it off pretty much immediately.

Other than a now paid off mortgage I've never been in debt as in having to pay interest I have had interest free loans for kitchens, sofas etc.

Why do you want to know?

None.

I don't think it's becoming more normalised, it's just people can't afford to live so they're racking up debt.

Zero.

I think in my friendship group debt is normal. People are quick to tell us to put things on a credit card or to take out a loan rather than waiting until we can afford things.
