Hi all! I hope you don't mind if I hang out here. I didn't see an introduction sticky, but I'm new here so I thought I would introduce myself. My DH and I have recently decided to become 100% debt free. We have a DD (7) and a DS (6 months), and we have been fortunate in that for the last 2.5 yrs his income has been enough to provide for us, but we have a $12k car loan and I have about $20k in student loans that I brought in to the relationship that we are anxious to get paid off.
We're doing the DR plan and are one baby step 1. I'm really excited to see if we can knock out that $1k this month! Our plan right now is to have DH work as much OT as possible (right now there's the possibility of 11 hours/wk so we'll see how that goes) and I have been trying to find some students to tutor for a little extra $.
I had been looking in to going back to work until we realized that with DD out of school for the summer it might not be the best time, so instead I'll be be looking for work full-force at the end of summer.
Really looking forward to getting back to work and getting to give this debt the old heave-ho and definitely excited to be here with so many people who have succeeded/are succeeding.
Anyway, that's our deal!
