House and everything! The plan works–but only if you are focused and have self-control. I will have paid off a total of $100K in the four years. I talk about my path to debt freedom in my blog.

Is that still true if you don’t carry your 0 balance credit cards with you? What is the risk of identity theft if the credit cards sit, unused, in your filing cabinet? Should I still close them and cut them up?
