Yes! best time ever. Earning potential is capped by the crappy market. If you think things will get better someday you can pay off your loan with boom dollars, which are a lot easier to come by than our current bust dollars.

This is generally true for all fixed rate loans and highly variable inflation.

One would expect the market to react by moving toward variable rate from fixed, which has already been reported for student loans.
