He is good buddies with a lennie, was just curious if you were the Lennie? Yeah, I'm working on the debt repayment myself, it is also 1st priority for me.

Yeah I like the SM Book and concepts, it makes a lot of sense. I haven't followed it to the letter of course as I'm not selling my RRSP's to put down on the mortgage and all of that - perhaps I should, I don't know I haven't really thought about it.. One challenge at a time - and that one is debt repayment first :-) Hey Thomas,

You don't happen to know Steve Richard?

I just want to point out that your article seems to suggest interest on an RRSP loan is tax deductible. I would suggest checking with CRA on this one because it is not (only interest on a loan that is non-registered investment).<br><br>Otherwise, good article.
