I don't exactly need the money because I have a job that pays me a very decent, if not at all extravagant, amount of money, and I can cover my expenses comfortably, but it would be nice to pay off a big chunk of my $11,000 in student loans...."

Have you done anything you're not proud of because of your debt burden? Are there dreams you put off? People you compromised? Ideas you sold out?
