For inspiration on eliminating debt, read about success stories in the MSN.com article Huge Debts, Paid Off Fast. Greg Cards will pay off $154,000 in about six years on a base income of $60,000 per year. Bethany and Stephan Gordon retired $150,000 of mortgage debt in five years, with an initial income of $55,000 per year. How did they do it?
According to MSN.com, among other things:
It wasn’t easy for any of them. I am inspired by their commitment to achieving their goal. They all had the vision and will to be successful.

The article you mention was really interesting. Other than the things you noted in your posts...I was intrigued by the charity and debt stuff (and recently wrote a post on that), and also one of the cases where the family has $49,000 in credit card debt !!...I don't know how people can pile up that much. At our current standard of living we could almost live 5 years in that kind of money !
Ah ha...I see the nice image now :). It's always nice to see things evolving.
GolbGuru,
I thought the article was a great example of an "I can do it" attitude by all the people it covered. Your post on this article sure generated a lot of comments. It started a very interesting discussion.
Thanks for the compliment - three columns, pictures ... hmm, what's next? Haven't tried video or pod casting yet:-)
I'm also inspired by those who really pay down their debt quickly. I wish I had the same energy and drive to build up my retirement at the same rate!
