I think the way most people rationalise it, it's a pre-requisite for having a job. So it's income-generating and therefore morally ok to take out a loan for it.


Which is just so many degrees of insane that it's even hard to list all of them.


You could list a few, otherwise I'm just guessing at what you mean.

Your work requires expensive gear - maybe it's a car, or smartphone, or computer, or ebike, or HVAC tools, or camera, or musical instrument - why not pay for them over time as they help generate income?


I mean that you shouldn't need a car to get a job, for absolutely all types of work.

For example a doctor or a waiter doesn't need a car to do their job, once they're at their workplace.

The US is basically forcing everyone to commute by car, except for select and limited geographies.
