Yes. I paid off $11,000 in student loans and it took 6 months. I got paid weekly so I put 70% of every paycheck toward the debt using the debt snowball method. 20% I paid myself, 10% I saved.

I loved it. I looked forward to every paycheck knowing that I was knocking down the balance. Once I finished that, I paid off other items too. In the last year, I paid off over $30k.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
