The car post was written by someone else. It seems to have been quite a long time ago that he was deep in debt. I don't know what other post you have in mind, but quite a lot of the stuff on his blog is written by other people. According to http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/12/03/free-at-last-saying-good-bye-to-20-years-of-debt/ http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2007/12/03/free-at-last-sa... (written in 2007) his only debt at that point was his mortgage. So I've no idea what state his finances are in now, but it doesn't sound to me like he's desperately short of money. (I had a quick look at other stuff on his blog, and I'd guess he has at least a few tens of thousands of dollars in cash. There's a post from April 2008 saying that he's got $5k in his "emergency fund" and aims to make it $10k by the end of that year, for instance.)
