Based on statistical average, or based on your imagination?

I get that we say this culturally, and it's common. But it's not that simple.

I would rather no debt, but I kinda need a house because it's illegal to buy a field and live there in a yurt

Come out to the country. Just make sure your field is outside city limits, and you'll probably be fine living there, as long as your sewage doesn't drain into a protected waterway. A 3-phase septic wouldn't be too hard to put in, but it's a lot easier if you'll rent heavy machinery instead of shovels.

Not an option in the UK

Well, I would say you could immigrate to the U.S., but that's a bad idea for a number of reasons, IMO.

No countryside up in Scotland anymore?

There is countryside but you are not allowed to live on land without planning permission, I presume Scotland has a fairly similar system too.

Just a small correction there: debt can never be good.

But debt can be necessary, but that is only because some financial institutions have made it so, because many of them make their money from peoples debt.

So they spread the myth that debt is good, despite the fact that the world would be a far better place without debt.

Absolutely false. Debt is a tool. It's a wealth multiplier.

You can use tools incorrectly, and that can harm you. But used correctly, they can let you do things quicker and easier than you could have without them.
