"We Asked our Favorite Illustrators What Debt Means to Them"

I thought this article was pretty cool! It's nice to see that more and more people want to escape debt instead of accepting it as the new norm. I especially enjoyed the 'brief guide to outsmarting debt' graphic :)

I liked them until I got to the last one.  I'm sure that's how some people view it though.

I liked the second one especially because I think of debt as a tool. A very sharp, very dangerous tool that can feel like a burden but a tool. Without the ability to go into debt I wouldn't have the job I have (which pays me a LOT of money because of my degree), or the house I have (which has appreciated 100k since I bought it), or have gotten to travel as much as I have (because of credit card sign up bonuses, yes I pay them off immediately).
