Interesting thread.
Debt is good? I guess my "old school" mentality needs an adjustment.
It would be interesting to compare notes a few years down the road. Right now it looks like everybody here will be doing great on their investments. The reality is that 90% of them will most likely spend that extra ca$h on iPods, Flames gear and other consumer crap. That's human nature, so don't get offended. We've seen it happen again and again.
It's the same thing when people make a budget and see great amount of savings at the end of the year. Most times they have big fat 0 at the end because it takes great discipline to save/invest. Other times they accumulate debt on top of that, because after all, debt is good.
Sorry for the lecture, but test your discipline before making major, long term commitments because we all know that talk is cheap and investments always look great on paper.
