15% is way high for a loan. where'd you get that number?

i don't really see 3k as a lot of money.  vacations are something you only do once in a while so why not be comfortable.  otherwise, stay home.

not everyone who has debt is destroying themselves.  debt can be a useful tool.
when i had zero debt i was worse off than i was now.  now i have some debt and i have a decent credit score. if i wanted to i could go get a car with no downpayment today.  i did that with my last car, infact. i thought my old car was done and so i bought this other one.  i ended up fixing old car and now i have 2 reliable vehicles.
