yahoo! hubby and I cleared out our house last week of unwanted "item", (tools, collectibles, toys, clothes, a rocking chair... and some kitchen things..) and sent them to an auction house. Well today, we went to pick up the check . it was $548!!! yay! hubby also sold his four wheeler for $600 to his best friend, who paid us $200 and then it paying us $400 after christmas ( he is good for the money, he has bought from us before) I am so happy we are taking charge of this mess and trying to dig out. I feel like a grown up, and you know what? we don't even miss this stuff at all!!!! and now we are looking out for even more stuff to sell, I think the dog is getting nervous!

I know the feeling. Everytime DH and I have a yard sale, I start looking for stuff to sell. Anything that isn't nailed down is subject to consideration. Right now I am selling books on half.com and I keep going through all of my books looking for things that "might" sell. DH's getting nervous that some of his might go. They won't. I promise.

Congrats on the big checks and sounds like you are taking Dave Ramsey's baby steps.

Good Job.

yup, we are still on the "get current" baby step, but we will be through that by the end of the week! yay! I love dave ramsey, his ideas are so simple, but gosh, they make sense. I can't wait until the day I can call in and say "I'm debt free!"
