"the total money makeover and I am going to do it!! I started today and already paid off one of my medical bills. I have about $900 in credit card debt that I would like to wipe out ASAP! My student loan will be alot tougher, but I could probably wipe that out in about 5-6 years if I follow this plan. I also want to buy a house in the next couple of years, so if I could get most of my other debts paid, this would help. Wish me luck!

I know that if I hadn't 'discovered' Dave Ramsey, there is no way we'd be doing as well knocking out the debt as we have been. The TMMO is such a motivating book!

Good luck-be gazelle intense! (hope you like rice and beans, beans and rice, lol)

Thanks. I am really excited about it! I will feel good to not have so many payments. The only thing that I am nervous about is using my savings up. I have $10,650 saved and it took me almost two years to save this amount, plus I am a single mom, so that is my security blanket and I cannot rely on child support, because it isn't very much each month. Thanks for posting.

yeah, I am excited too! It will feel good to not have so many payments and to get a handle on things. It will take me a while to pay off my student loan, but once that is gone, then I can focus on owning a home also! Thanks for posting.

Good Luck! I love Dave Ramsey. I am also a member of his MYTOTALMONEYMAKEOVER.COM site. It has tons of forms and forums. Great stuff! He is a real inspiration. I listen to his radio show daily and it always gets me going!
