Blah blah, nothing. That's the way I look at it! We're working to be debt free in less than 10 years and still have two thirds of our lives ahead of us. Big incentives for doing this quickly and getting it out of the way are to save money earlier, to stop wasting it on interest, and to preemptively flee the work game. Woot!
