How I did it: Making moderate size payments (always more than the minimum) for several years. One extra big payment at the end, being transferred today. Want to start saving for a house, or pay off my car. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had a credit card debt after my europe tour. I worked hard and lived like hell for 6 months. It was a difficult time, but soooo worth it! On my next tour i will save money before i go insted of using money i dont have. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It's been a long hard slog, but finally I'VE DONE IT. I'm debt free! (other than the mortgage, but I'm overpaying on that now!).It may sound stupid, but it was quite easy once I got into the swing of things. I used the snowball method, which means paying off your high interest cards first (see www.whatsthecost.com - There's a snowball calculator there which you can use to see how long it'll take). Don't get too depressed by ho… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I got them all paid off, but as luck would have it -- life happened and my balances are back up. I plan on paying them off once again with tax returns. Read how I did it…

BofA: 0
Chase: 907
ATT: 1002
My husband took out a loan to consolidate most of his credit card debt, and paid off my BofA card. Once I knock out my Chase card and my dental bills, I’m going to help pay that loan (with both of us working on it, should be paid off within 2 years, easy).

I get paid Friday, so there’s my rent check, my cable bill, and my Target bill. I’ll have $100 left over. Damn.
I have figured out that if I manage to pay 150.00 a month, I will be done in 18 months. I am going to try to do this.

Brandi asks,
“How do you stop procrastinating and actually get this done? One at a time? or a little bit paid towards all of them each month?”
