True.

After WWII the booming economy, rising incomes, suburban homebuilding (FHA/VA mortgages, GI Bill), mass-marketed appliances and cars, and the spread of installment credit and charge cards normalized consumer borrowing. This era saw widespread adoption of mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, making borrowing a routine part of American life.
