Sure, it's possible to live debt-free and manage finances or architecture frugally - and I consider that a noble thing - but you will have a hard time keeping up with those who keep covering up their debt with more and larger debt.

However, the kind of debt/risk perception we are personally conditioned around in daily life does not translate to software. Managing software debt requires investment banker-like thinking, rather than the mindset of a credit card or mortgage holder.
