Its always scary to see how much debt people are in.......I too follow the eliminate debt ideal. Very soon I will have no student loans left, and nothing but my house mortgage before the end of the summer....which is not even 1/8th of our income....so many people nowadays live on a solid 2 incomes. We live on about 70% of one. 
I think so much of it comes from the entitlement movement in how so many kids have been raised in the past few decades. There was an article in the news recently where some spoiled brat 18 year old girl is trying to sue her parents who kicked her out, to get them to pay for the rest of her private prep high school AND for her college/living expenses. Amazing.
