Don't kid yourself that if you're renting you have no debt. You're paying the mortgage that the landlord has, not to mention property taxes.
That's not their debt though. At most a renter is only on the hook for the rent payments for whatever contract period they signed up for. And that's not debt, just a liability.

Generally, being in debt is only morally acceptable when there is a tangible object that can be recovered by the lender in case of nonpayment of be debtor.
And since you always need a place to live, this liability, which never goes away, unlike a mortgage which can be paid off, puts you as a renter in an immoral situation that is never resolved. It's also why property taxes are immoral, as it means you never truly own what's necessary to survive, which is shelter.
And there are times it makes even moral sense to rent, such as military service where you live 4-6 years in one location.
oy vey - off whacko.
Oh, we have a jew here, holding up a mirror, telling us he finds debt perfectly morally fine.
Debt = slavery
You know what makes a slave, the never see the product of their labor. The work and the fruits of their sweat goes to their masters. If you have debt, the fruits of your labor go to someone else.
