    I grew up very poor. It’s in my nature to avoid debt like the plague, even “good debt”. Somehow that’s worked out very well for me, so I also recommend it.

    I’m 37 and paid off all of my ~80k in student loans (for a communications degree) since my 2009 graduation earlier this year… How the hell does this person still owe so much on their student loans?
