Become completely debt free

short term goal is to get rid of anything that i can get rid of with reason, cars, student loans, credit cards—the mortgage, i know will float w/me for sometime…

Just paid off the Capital One account. Now I’m just down to my 3 student loans – about $12K all together.

Just set up an electronic transfer for another $400 to Capital One. Will only have about $1900 left after that.

Some upcoming car repairs and a trip to the mainland may delay my Capital One payoff for a month or two. On the upside: I have the cash to easily afford the car and the trip! I highly recommend getting a decent emergency fund in place before working on debt payoff – being able to pay with cash is an awesome feeling.

Have some lingering low interest credit card debt that we haven’t been motivated to pay off. Finally decided it needs to go so last week I paid off Citibank and will have Capital One knocked out by next month. After that, its time to attack the student loans.
