Advantages of Paying Off Debt From a purely financial point of view, it makes more sense to focus on debt payoff rather than directing available cash to a savings account. From a personal point of view, I much prefer living debt free. It’s a question of how to ensure the gains outweigh the losses.

It was a mix of college loans, a personal loan from my parents (for college), an overdraft account, and credit card debt. What inspired you to get debt free?

The only debt we had was a mortgage – however when we first got married we were stupid and bought a Mercedes. We ended up using my remaining collage savings to pay that off. After we purchased our house, we decided that it would be our last debt – so we worked hard and paid the entire thing off in less than 8 years.
