4. I went for "no college", but I should have picked "other"
35K, if I've got a medical or engineering degree, not so bad. 35K and a liberal arts degree, not so good.

5. No college, no loans.
I'm hell-bent on finishing college without taking out loans, even if it takes me 10 years to do it. Debt is evil.

7. Really? What if you have 10k of debt at 3% interest, but 10k of cash earning you 6% interest?
Is your debt still "evil" then?

What if you got that 10k of cash by taking out a loan (thus your debt)?

What's evil is unthinking people.

8. What happened to saving up for things, like my mom's mom (born in 1930) did?

Debt is how the elites keep us enslaved.

The only thing I will ever go in debt for is to buy a house.
