    In Aug 2008 my total debt was $57,500. Since then I am paying down all my debts.
    In Jan 2011 I read Dave Ramsey's book for the first time and decided to follow it.

    Step 1: Completed this in 14 days. It was just the matter of paying only the minimum amount to everybody and save the rest.

    Step 2: Working on this now. My debt is now down to $18,000.

    Step 3: Not started it

    Step 4: I was putting money in 401K before I read the book from Dave. I have stopped it now. Have around $9000 there, will start after step 3 is completed.

    Step 5: Not started. Have 3 kids. Eldest will go to Middle school next year. Eager to start this sometime in future.

    Step 6: Still rent a house.

    Step 7: I wish I was here now.
