I've been debt free for over 7 years now. I had some student debt after my second degree. The debt felt horrible. Terrible. I was miserable. So no, I don't think you're "missing out on some life-shaping experience." Stick to buying Burberry briefs on sale, and all your "life-shaping" needs should be covered. I love this post.

I can't say I am one I am learning the hard way. I've got a healthy mix of student loan debt and a tiny bit of impulsive debt that I have under control now. Since my undergrad school is also on that list, I've got to say I wish my scholarships would have been enough to not need student loans. Good for you to be able to graduate without any debt! There is no need to have to go through hardship when you can achieve the same outcome by making the right financial decisions. Don't feel bad and people don't really hate _you_ for it. They are just jealous of what they don't have, never take that part personally. Embrace your good fortune with debt, family and education. Oh to be a debt virgin!

I could easily pay for it in cash right now but my savings interest is more than the interest on my loan. So sometimes it's better to be in debt. I have car debt now.
