I liked how there was no 'superior' tone as well. I've found that some finance blogs give off this tone which turns me right off. I think being from England it's a bit different and some of you may gasp when I say this but I don't plan to be debt free until way in the future. I think the differing system for student loans is a huge factor between the US and Canada and England. I'm going to graduate with £28000 debt in 2010. The beauty of it is the rock bottom interest rate which according to recent deflation in England is almost 0 %. As you know, I'd rather stick what I've saved in a savings account earning 4 % and just pay minimum repayments as soon as I start earning £15000 a year. Monologue over! So I really respect that the different situation means that clearing student loans debt is really important on your side of the pond. I have a question: Tom wrote how he cleared his debt in mid March. Was that March 09? Different to the March when you started tracking expenses? Fantastic article!
