I like the Dave Ramsey approach if only because its simplicity leads people to be able to follow it, but the others certainly have merit, as well.

Read my article (<a href="http://www.elementary-finance.com/education/home-finance-tip-pay-2/" rel="nofollow">linked here</a>) to read the rest. Thanks for doing a great job on this article!
