For every $1 of debt you pay off, you'll have an additional $1 to pay towards debt the following month.<br /><br />You've had a crazy ride the past two years, and despite all of that, you've made progress!

I think $5-6000.00 a year in pay off is great. Don't look at the interest unless it is an incentive to pay back faster. If you had that retirement loan paid off. How much more could you put in the budget? You will eventually have to get another car. Debt or no debt that money will come from somewhere. I think you are doing very well. You have also had a bad financial year with lots of Murphy visits, and you have done fine. We can do this!Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.com
