>Before they've paid off their student loans it's likely they'll have a car loan, a house loan and eventually even have some kids I wish that were so. The thing about defaulting on student loans means you don't get car loans, home loans, or interest from members of the opposite sex. Late GenX. Defaulted. It's paid in full now. So is the only car I've ever owned. I won't own a home unless I can pay for it in full. (Probably never at current prices) I'll never have kids. Too old. It's biological. After wage garnishment, having my tax returns seized, calls at all hours in all places from debt collectors... I'm too debt averse to loan money for anything else. I have no debt now and I will stay that way.
