No, I think I swung too far in that direction if anything. I decided not to go to Stanford because it would be too expensive (one semester's tuition at Stanford is about one year of median income where I'm from, and that scared me to death). Only years later did I learn it would have been free because of how much (or little) income my parents had. It still upsets me to think about it. I now have an almost unhealthy fear of debt, to the extent that I don't even want to own a home until I can pay cash for it. (Though, to be fair, living in Silicon Valley right now with housing prices swinging $500k for what was a $500k house in a few years that fear may be somewhat healthy).
