I'm quite an admirer of the guy and his preaching is what has driven me a lot over the past couple years. Since that time I've paid off my student loans (about $17,000 in 4 months), my home equity line ($30,000 in about 8 months) and am now ready to tackle the mortgage. With discipline, the roughly $70,000 we owe on the mortgage should be paid off by the end of the 2013. A friend of mine told me it can't be done, so my aim is to prove him wrong.
