For myself, I put together several scenarios using spreadsheets to determine which loan needed tackled first so that I could get out of debt faster.  Believe it or not, it was my highest interest loan which was also my largest loan.

Knowing what I know, would I still have taken out my student loans? I'm torn over this because I've felt just as much hate as I have love for them. I learned a lot from it and that's something I can't ignore.

There are a lot of budgeting apps and solutions out there but my favorite is Mint.com. #dreamcrushingdebt

I think Dave has a lot of great ideas, but I didn’t follow his suggested path of getting out of debt. #dreamcrushingdebt
