I consider myself lucky to have been raised by parents who were obsessed about saving money and keeping spending low. That allowed me to save a lot early in my career - we used to live on base pay and bank our bonuses. That saved us when I went to HBS and started companies in the Bay Area. I must say that we did rack up a lot of debt. A lot of folks have asked me about strategies we used. So instead of reinventing the wheel, I'll let you read some articles by my friend Brad Stroh, co-founder of Bills.com - a site that gives practical advice & tools on personal finance (listen to his podcast). If you need a particular service like debt consolidation or refinance, they hook you up with a host of trusted independent firms. They even have this Ask Bill feature where you can ask questions and get personal responses. Brad's passionate about this stuff.
