On the other hand, student loans, mortgage payments, stuff with an interest rate below 5%, again, almost everyone agrees that's debt you can work with in reasonable amounts.There's also a broad base of consensus that you need to have a significant sum set aside as a reserve, in easily-tapped resources like cash, sitting equity in your primary residence, easily liquidated assets.
