I'm taking the whole month of August '08 off of work to go there with my girlfriend (hopefully fiance by then) and her family. Should be good times. When are you planning to visit Australia?

I thought those were traditionally included when determining net worth.

I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the credit card interest rate is zero? I have a $15,000 education loan with a fixed 3.5% interest rate, and have been doing the same thing -- investing the money in 4.75% or higher accounts. But now that interest rates are tanking and I missed my chance to get a CD, I figure I might as well just pay off the loan. But if you know of any good ways to get a high guaranteed return still, I'd love to hear about them. :-) Thanks for the great blog by the way!
