OPINIONS I just love BYU so much

Maybe pay it down to $1000 or something so you don’t close a line of credit right before you apply for a loan.

Otherwise, I’d just pay it off.

blueaussie

Yeah, because he makes more selling no debt to others

Dave is rich because he sells himself, his books, etc

He didn't get rich by practicing what he teaches.
