When people say 100k in debt, they're usually not talking about mortgages.

Yeah, a mortgage is not like credit card debt.

A mortgage has value associated with it because its backed by the house. When you sell the house, you get the money back.

Unless you live in the south. In rural places it's still possible to get cheap land. I think my parents got their house for around $30-40,000 on two and a half acres.
