Totally agree with you about tackling the most emotive debt first - the worst problem about problem debt is, after all, the emotional drain it causes. I started with the smallest debt, to get the thrill of striking off a whole line on that cursed spreadsheet as early as possible. But why not pay any emergency fund savings against debt too? In an emergency, you could always access those funds but they would be working harder for you in the meantime. I suppose you'd want to keep some hard cash tucked away for an emergency that required cash rather than credit card. Such a personal thing and I realise my comments are probably contradictory - good blog, keep it up. A.’s last blog post..…what are you scared of?

Well, Kosmo, I'm not sure if you know what dreadlocks are, but I guarantee I have less hair maintenance than you do. I haven't cut my hair since May of 2003, and I haven't purchased a single tool or accessory or shampoo to do it. So, can you beat $0?

I downloaded this morning and so far have only just skimmed through it. It is one fantastic book with lots of useful content. Well done Trent and well done Baker for bringing it to the limelight more. Garry - thisimprovedlife’s last blog post..Can We Be Nice In Today’s Society?

Allen – you’d be stunned at how much time and money you can save. I use a clippers to mow my hair to about 1/8″. I bought the clippers for about $20 in 2000 (when I was 25). 70ish haircuts later and finally starting to show signs of giving up the ghost.

It’s great to roll out of bed without worrying about your hair. I’m up at 5:30 every morning and it’s a great time saver. I haven’t used a comb in 7 years …

Also, you get the choose when you want your hair cut – you’re not at the whim of a stylist. If you suddenly want a hair cut at 2 AM, go for it!

Hey. I might be a twentysomething year old male, but there ain't no way I be shaving my head. I got dreadlocks, I like them, and they're staying. Also, congrats on becoming a veggie! My fiancee is a vegetarian, so I don't eat all that much meat. Alan @ Saving For Serenity’s last blog post..Five Ways to Save Money Using a Warehouse Club Membership
