This is the end of our eighth month on the Dave Ramsey's Total money makeover plan. And Today we have just paid off our 2nd Debt. We started with a total of five different Debts Ranging from $7,341 to $13,548 (not counting our house), totaling $49,705.46. Today our debt total is nearly $30,400. Which means we have paid off about $19,300 since we started. We are getting so close to the halfway mark.
Luckily we have been working extra hours and it has been helping speed the process along. We seem to be a couple months ahead of schedule. I hope we can keep up this pace.
This month we paid an extra $1690.13 on our debt.

The Road to financial peace.
This is a record of our journey in finding financial peace. We are using the baby steps in Dave Ramsey's - Total money makeover, book. We will be trying to follow his plan as close as we can. We hope to have an end result where we have no debt, have a large emergency fund, are saving for buy everything, are saving for our kids college, and are building wealth for retirement.
When we started this plan on January 1, 2010. I was 32 years old and my wife was 31. We had been married for 4 years. We knew this plan would take a few years before we were on the last step in the baby step process. But we are dedicated not to give up.
This blog is to help us keep on track, and keep us focused on our goal.
