Give Middle class the Dream of wealth by giving them credit loans... So the option to borrow from future... All good all happy Smiley

Loan = good = happy is a terrible equation. The truth is more like loan = evil = sad.

As a matter of fact, loans are more or less a trap. Banks and other lending entities have been playing the role of loan sharks in the past decades. They've made enormous amounts of money out of borrowers. They've acquired assets from those who defaulted.

Middle income families are better off avoiding loans. I've personally witnessed families who are trapped in debts that they end up paying them all throughout their lives.

The bank as the bogeyman is a tired cliche. Nobody forces anyone to take a loan. The reason consumers do it is because it's a benefit to them to do so. You could wait 20 years until you have enough money to buy a house without debt, or you could buy it now and pay it off over 30 years while living in it instead of paying rent to someone else that doesn't build your own equity in the property.  All loans aren't bad, it's lazy and wrong to present them as such.
