Yes, it is part of modern finance, but I avoid it at all cost. I pay everything off. A friend of mine think I'm stupid (yeah really) since I'm not leaveraging my mone. The only loan I have is my house loan. I paid my 15 year mortgage in 12 years. All cars are paid for. My credit score (last I check) was 847! I think I'm doing something right!
