I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with debt... which pretty much covers everybody in our country.

Maybe the rules need to be set up to promote speed debt reduction... kinda like speed chess? It would only be slow if we are typical consumers.

It would be the slowest game in history for most of us but it would give new meaning to paying off a credit card.

Intense! Maybe you could create a historical battle map and plot your debt successes as battle successes. Like if someone payed off $2,000 in auto loans they advance and win the battle of Normandy on their way to 0 debt in Berlin. Kind of like a new version of Risk, but for personal finance. Completely unrelated to that I saw you hosted a carnival yesterday. I haven't done anything with these yet and am interested in learning more. Any advice? .-= Ryan @ Planting Dollars´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.plantingdollars.com/uncategorized/how-to-win-through-quitting/" rel="nofollow">How to Win Through Quitting</a> =-.
