lol vaga, you think 9.21 is un-american, my current flying loan is at 18.99%
gotta love it....
but yeah, I'd go with the rest of the troops here and say go ahead and pay off the debt, the easiest money you'll ever make is the money you'll save from not paying interest. the Dave Ramsey thing was also a great suggestion, look for "Total Money Makeover" and give it a read, great book.
