Harvard MBA loans article

I think its quite interesting that in almost all of the comments people slammed him for cashing in his IRA and then not getting the employer match of it. The two things I would say to that are, it was a 7 month journey, so other than what he cashed out, he didn't miss much, and second, if they knew anything about Dell, they would know that upper management has a high turnover rate and if the person isn't even vested in 5 years, they don't get the employer match portion anyways. In general it was a good article. I didn't read the blog myself, and I think at times, especially when you are single, it can be easy in an environment like that, to lose perspective and just go with teh flow spending money frivilously. I think a lot of the comments were missing the point of the article, it wasn't miraculous that he paid the money back "per his obligation" its how quickly he paid it back and the sacrifices he made and the hard work he put into it to do it.
