This is an interesting story and all that, but honestly, he only got to the "debt free nirvana" after becoming rich and famous.
I pay my credit card, pay my taxes and my mortgage, but that takes almost all my money away.
So if I look at it my net worth it is basically negative.
Only way I'll get to the debt free nirvana is if I get rich somehow. It's not a real choice. So the entire premise of the article is pretty weak.

No, that certainly is not the case. Slow and steady saving and investing is the way to become wealthy. Check out www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance or www.mrmoneymustache.com as examples of this.
- Draiken 10y agoI've seen the Mustache site before, but let's be honest here: this only works if you live a frugal life style. It might work if you are alone with no attachments or your SO has the same views, but not for anyone else. I'm trying to become less attached to things and have gone a long way, but telling your wife and kid to not want to eat out, for instance, is almost impossible...
