My parents and in-laws: $0 student debt
My spouse and me: just shy of $150k

In America I'm free to accrue massive debt! 🦅💵🇺🇸

    Until recently, encouraged by high school guidance counselors and college admissions and financial aid staff to accrue massive debt.

    It IS the smartest of the stupidest moves for some of us. I make much more money than I would have without a degree, so I'll still come out financially ahead. In would have been so much nicer to have gotten a decent education and not be saddled with enough debt to buy a small house (at the time, before the housing market went insane), though.
