I let my home appreciation "pay off" my student loan. By doing that, I was
able to buy the things I wanted when I wanted them. No belt tightening
whatsoever. I was also able to contribute $20,000+ dollars in each of the
last 6 years to my pension plan...rather than use that same money to retire
long-term debt.

I have zero personal debt except for my house now. And I have 25% equity in
that.

To each his own.
