Why do you want to do this?

After reading the book money makeover by Dave Ramsey, I have changed the way i pay off debt. I have been working working with a program of ReThink money. And i still use a lot of what Casey Graham has to say. But the book Money Makeover has encourged me to get rid of debt faster.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Awesome goal.  I'm working on getting out of debt myself.  No lie, it's hard.  But, focus & stick to it.  It'll be soooo worth it!

 Would love to know how it's going so far Topgun.  Are you making real progress?  There are so many others here who are working on the same objective.  What tips can you pass along to us from Dave Ramsey and Casey Graham that might help us achieve our goals faster.  I've worked myself out of a tonne of consumer debt and we've even managed to get our mortgage changed to a LOC, but if we could get to that zero balance on that one too any faster, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much for sharing.

How is this goal working for you?  Any ideas you can share?  May 2013 is less than 2 years away, which really isn't that far when you think about it!  What successes have you had so far?

Just checked out that article you posted Zin.  Thanks for sharing.  Some great useful advice there for sure.  I have not read 'Money Makeover' yet.  I'll have to check that out too. I'm always amazed at how fast time flies by.  Some serious progress can be made in 20+ months with respect to debt reduction.  Tracking monthly spending and expenses really forced me to take a look at the situation I was up against.  At first, it was really daunting - I felt like I was trying to move a mountain.  Have you been making progress with a certain plan Topgun?
