A lot of expensive things and events get deferred with the sword of student debt hanging over your head. Home buying, marriage, children, hobbies, investment. I barely managed to pay off my student debt by 40 and can now start on some of these things. My parents ('Boomers) were well into them all by the time they were in their late 20s. I'm finding the age at which I have most of my life events is about 10 years or so delayed from the age at which my parents did all these things.
