You are right: there is never a good time/better time than NOW to start paying off debt. Same with savings, no matter how small the amount. I especially enjoyed your comment about the temptation to "keep up with the Joneses." This is a real problem in our society that starts as early as childhood. It is the culprit of many financial disasters! Ultimate satisfaction from acquiring things will never be realized. We always end up wanting more, and leads so many to experience financial hardship.

About to begin my senior year at University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. This fall will be my third unpaid internship, and wondering when the money will start flowing. I'm having trouble putting any money away when I am not making any money! Great post! About to begin my senior year at University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.
