I am fortunate in that Mdm Bong does well, and the only debt we have is a small house payment and 1 car payment. It's a bit scary at first, taking the plunge and all. Like Sam said, I'm tossing a job that any accounting/finance grad would kill for. But it sucked. I honestly believe that the more I got into Hawaiian culture - language, steel guitar, history, etc - the more it helped me realize that one needs to make the most out of the time we spend on the surface of this Earth. What matters is family, friends, and taking time for yourself. I guess it will be a drag surfing and playing steel everyday for hours on end (oh yeah, and studying!).
