Dear Ahang,
We live in a society that everyone has home mortgage, credit card payments, car loans, college loans, etc. Very few people, if any, are debt free. Is it really practical to hold this dated statement of 1932 as a guiding principle?
Yes, I think it is, provided one considers one's *monthly* debt, not the entire debt.
For example, If my debt each month for mortgage, credit cards, car loans and college
loans is, say, $1200, then I should pay that $1200 before giving to the fund.
Or, to put it another way, I shouldn't give so much to the fund that I don't
have $1200 left to pay my debts for the month.
