That is a horrible tldr and completely against the precise and accuracy focused spirit of the poster. Very disingenuous.
A better tldr is lenders are looking at your current and past ability to pay your current, past, and predicted debt and sudden changes to the inputs make sudden changes to the point value, but that smooths out over a relatively short time frame on the scale of your life.
Nothing in that message has anything to do with better wages.
nah, no lender gives a fuck about your financial situation, certainly not in america.
bankstreet turned boom and bust investing into an science, nothing has changed there.
for the overwhelming majority of people all debt is a trap, for everyone else…it’s still a trap, just a useful one.
It’s not really a trap, it’s how our current society pools resources to make big things happen. Obviously you can make big things happen through authoritarian means (like pyramids) but in a less authoritarian society, which I think everyone except the lemmy ml folks would say is good, the way you make big things happen is through borrowing money at the lowest possible interest rate. There’s a reason the fed rate is such a critical, newsworthy figure in our society – not just for the us but for many countries.
That’s not to say there’s not a better way. It’s also not to say that credit scores are particularly related. But it’s not a trap.
If the system were set up in a way that you could actually get to the point where those “big things” were not always required, on an individual basis, it wpuld not be.
But that isn’t the world we live in. We live in one where everything needs to keep raising in cost until there is nonescape from the debt requirement for anyone. And the squeeze will happen until everyone becomes a part of the trap.

They are right, its a trap.
