ACK!
Well, DH is working late so I decided to write out all our debt just to see. I haven't looked at the actual numbers in months but geez! I was shocked (isn't it always like that?). The number in my head was a lot lower.
We have $20,651.20 in debt. That's 2 vehical loans (truck and motorcycle) plus about $2000 on a credit card.
I know it could be a whole lot though.
But I did figure out if I double up on the loan payments, we can pay both off in 2 years! In 6 months Dh is changing jobs and should be making at least a few hundred more then he does now so if we keep our life style the same we shouldn't miss the extra money.
Debt sucks. It really does.

I hate debt, I even when our cell phone contract was up...I was elated..No more $107 a month. So, I cannot wait until we start to knock off the other bills.
taking one day at a time, trying to get rid of debt!!

Yeah, it sucks big time...but, you've got a good "plan of attack". It'll be gone in just 2 short years and you'll be a very happy camper!

It sounds like you have a great plan! Like you said it could be worse. It's good you caught it when you did.
