get out of debt

Well, it has been quite a bit more than the 6 months I promised in my previous post but we’re well on our way now. In fact, last night my wife and I volunteered at Dave Ramsey’s live event in Cincinnati. That is an experience I would highly recommend to anyone who has benefited from Dave’s advice and is looking for a way to give a little back. Dave’s entire team is second to none and we had a blast helping others get started on their journey to “Financial Peace”.

We’ve still got a ways to go. We were in the worst shape of anyone in our FPU class but we’re constantly trying to trim our living expenses so we can apply more to our debt. Our hope is that we’ll be totally debt free in about three more years. That should give you some estimate as to the size of our hole. If all goes well maybe I’ll fess up to the total amount once we’re free and clear! Until then, you’ll just have to stay tuned.

Thanks to Dave Ramsey, http://www.daveramsey.com/, I’ve taken the first “baby” steps to “financial peace”. Check back in six months or so for a progress report.
