Thing is, of all my peers, all of us share that same experience. I think it's great that some folks here either didn't receive that bad advice or ignored it, but the reality is, lots of people have gotten screwed with a lot of debt, by listening to their elders. And I personally kinda hate that "everyone gets a trophy" mentality, because you know what? It was never us kids who were asking for trophies. It was always the adults coming up with that goofy shit and foisting it on us. And yet, somehow, my generation's the one accused of being a snowflake generation...
