Let's be a little realistic too.. the total cost of living for many of those that are debt free in this post is lower than our monthly food bill, which kinda explains why they're able to live the life style they do.
School loans are debt just like a mortgage is. Although both are typically considered "good debt" as opposed to "bad debt" like credit cards or medical bills. Good debt has a purpose and hopefully a gain at the end.

How exactly are stocks and bonds a debt? Debt is when you owe money. What debt do stock and bond holders have?
