[quote=Anonymous]The most I ever had was 10K but given my income at the time  (uh, none really I was in college and waiting tables part time) it might have been 100K. I paid sporadically to top it off. When I met my now husband, he was horrified, put me on a pay it off schedule and it was the most freeing thing. I hope that my children can learn by my example how important it is to manage your spending and your responsibilities. That was several (20 ack!) years ago now, and I feel like an ex-smoker, because I regularly preach the no debt mantra, but I truly believe it. I also believe there are circumstances where it is hard to avoid it and some sympathy and guidance is necessary to help.

I think the no debtors can be sanctimonious at times, because its a deeply held belief (as I can attest to by living with one!). Its not wrong but when you already feel badly about the situation, beating someone up about it, or fanatically proclaiming your debt free existence is not going to help the situation.[/quote]
