Years of hard work can be undone by one slip. Also having to deal with debt causes stress that takes your mind and energy that could be better invested elsewhere. @Loan Ranger – The cutting your arm if is the problem.

I know everyone else seems to be on board with thew hole debt=slavery thing, but I just thought I'd add my two cents.
