I got lucky with a car that was a present from my grandma(literally drop it only about 100/miles a week and then left it alone when she went to Florida) but I'm hoping to pay off at least 15% of my loans this year. Make it a little easier in the long run. :) Right now, my only huge bit of debt are my student loans.

I just hope that when someone makes that resolution they can put the time and energy into completing it. It's not easy to pay off debt, it takes a ton of work. I'm sad to say that not many people are willing to make the sacrifice. I totally agree that paying off debt only fixes the symptom. If someone can't come to grips with the fact that they MUST spend less than they make, they are doomed to fail. Happy New Year, Let's have a great 2010 Paying off debt is a great resolution.
