I've met her a couple times. She's the one who explains personal finance in such a way that it captivated me. My financial planner just wasn't hitting the mark. I'm so BUMMED OUT I didn't know about her free download. Does anyone know if it's available elsewhere as a free download? Also - My husband and I have been COMPLETELY DEBT-FREE for 3.5 years now. We made a plan and committed to it and paid off our 30-yr mortgage in 12 years. We did this while still putting money into savings, Roth IRAs, 401k, 403b and building an emergency fund. We are middle-income earners and live a life of "need vs. want". We don't feel like we sacrifice anything and certainly have some toys. We're also HUGE into travel and find many ways to travel frugally. My point I'm making is that people can do this. You really can. You simply have to commit to it and change the way you live. IT IS INCREDIBLY SATISFYING KNOWING ALL DEBT IS PAID OFF. I can't explain how fully how great it feels. Since paying off the mortgage, we continued to save and when we needed a different car, we purchased a 2-3 year old model and paid for it in cash. Cash is king and goes a long ways in negotiating prices down. Best of luck to all of you. It is possible to feel quite rich when you are living debt-free. I’m a HUGE Suze Orman fan.

I started my paying down plan by first opening a Savings account and channeling 100 dollars every month.Though I paid 10 times as much to the CC's at the same time. Its equally important that we don't go back digging into CC's if we meet with some kind of emergency.
