    Default Debt Free next year!!!!

    Dh will be getting a $677 a month pay increase in Feb. of next year. He will end up getting 3 seperate pay increases at the say time (doesn't usually happen) Ran my debt snowball and we should be debt free by the end of next year with putting all of his pay increase towards debt!!!!! That is about a year ahead of time.

    Thats awesome!!!!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    That's wonderful! Just be sure to put ALL the extra money towards debt. Sometimes we want to do that but things dont always turn out that way. Best bet is to pretend that money coming in is for a bill.
