Why not? 2% interest on 10K for, say, 24 months is all of ~$210. This won't dink your credit one damn bit, payment is prob ~$425. If you have no other debt, why wouldn't you borrow this modest amount and keep your cash on hand for other purposes?

Again, is it worth $210 in interest for the peace of mind of still having $10K on hand for emergencies, etc?

Repeat after me: not all debt is bad.

For 2% I would try to finance the entire thing.

This is the issue, I have never been in any sort of debt. I received schollarships and worked to save up enough to cover school.

Paying cash would still leave is with about a 12 month emergency fund. I know you all are right. I just cringe at the thought of a monthly payment.
