I realize that, and I wasn't taking exception to any preception that you were.

My point is that you think it's important to live within, or below one's means, something that I strongly agree with, while also making the blanket statement that debt limits people's choices/options and should be avoided, something that under the proper circumstances, using my own as an example, I strongly disagree with.

Taking on debt, and living within your means are not mutually exclusive, and under many circumstances, prudently taking on debt can offer greater options/choices than the restrictions that come with it.
