Huzzah!

In 1990 I went to university - part of the first year to have student loans rather than full grants.

I just got the letter from the student loan company telling me the last of them has been paid off.

Slowly I rid myself of all my debts...

Well, congratulations. But the miser in me says "what took you so long?" Heh, well that'll maybe be your middle-class type upbringing or something - I recall being utterly shocked to discover that there were whole rafts of people who didn't even *think* about paying a bill before it came in red - whilst earning twice what my family did.

But why should people pay off debts faster than they have to? Paying off debts isn't an intrinsic good - if you can get more out of life by not paying them until later, then there's definitely some impetus to do that.
