LOL Money Funk! Yeah me and Jay have fun! I think he is a great friend to have!

Yeah I agree with you about the 99/1 percentages. We definitely fall into the 99% of people that DO NOT have the discipline required to pay the balance every month. I do still believe that the 1% that do, still run a risk of using that same debt to bail them out of trouble if a real emergency was to ever come. Jay on the other hand has a very nice savings and retirement so I think he has nothing to worry about. I wonder how many of the 1% have no savings? Hmmm.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you continue to drop by from time to time.

You two had me laughing. And there was valid points from both of you. J. Money is right that you can greatly benefit in using your CCs with rewards if you can use and PIF in a timely manner (like he said 1%). But, I know that I fit in the 99% of the people and don’t quite trust that I could use and PIF in a timely manner. Hence the reason there is so much consumer debt in the world!

Thanks for the great debate on my site. I had much fun reading it.

@Blake – You’re right about that, and trust me I did that before he ever published it. I do get some pretty good gas mileage too. It has great pick up, drives like a dream considering it is so old. The only thing I wish it had was power steering. LOL

@Danielle – Glad to hear you are working the plan. Dave’s plan is solid! I know it changed our life in a serious way.

@Kate – I am so glad you found EOD too, and trust me Jay is the man, and will always be a friend to me. The CRX is definitely a SWEET car. Not sure what happened as far as the comment box though. It’s supposed to get bigger when you type so you can always see your entire comment before you publish it. Let me know if it happens again and I’ll look into it. (For the record, I have a few flaws with my current theme that I need to figure out. Maybe I need to take a class to help me do that after I finish the public speaking class.) lol

Thanks to all of you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy what I have put together here. If you ever wish for me to write about something in particular please contact me through this website, or by emailing me at freedom@enemyofdebt.com.

I’m so glad that I found you – compliments of Jay. I love the CRX – mine was my favorite car ever. I hope thier are no typos – the comments box shrunk to invisible when I started typing. What’s up with that?

Hey! I love your blog. Found it while blog hopping today. My husband and I have been following the baby steps since last August. We’re temporarily putting off baby step 2 to build up our emergency fund (we’ve done most of step 2 – just have a small piece of our car loan left). This makes us feel much better given the current state of the economy. It feels nice to have a bit in the bank.

Again, love your blog!

Well now you can thank J Money for the publicity; I’m sure I’m not the only one who found your site thanks to his recent post.

I love your CRX by the way. I bet that thing gets some kickin’ good gas mileage! I have a Civic that I bought with cash, gets 40 mpg, and runs like a charm. It feels pretty darn good!
