    No
    I voted no.

    Just to be different!


    And if Martin is in Debt and needs to be a Nerd, I would feel throughly let down! I need a role model, not someone in the same boat!!!! (Although I do love all you guys!!)

    Yes
    I've voted yes too.

    There's no reason why someone who isn't actually in debt can't be a debt nerd. It's habits that this site encourages that allow all of us to become debt-free, and Martin has created this site so in some ways he is already the uber-nerd.

    (PS I'm using 'nerd' as a term of endearment really.)

    Martin is the king of the Nerds, of course he should get a number.. I think the next poll should be who gets nerd #1 spot, Martin or SS, I can't wait to see the nerdiness election campaign
