Due to the economy's recession- a virtual gold star ...two more credit cards paid off. Snowball, snowball, snowball. DRamsey is working for us.
It feels so good! And I have to admit, I actually will look at the old worksheets like they are certificates or awards knowing that its an old worksheet and it shows where we were.
AAAWWWW...still a ways to go but making it work. Radical ideas= renting out the camper!

It's such a great feeling, isn't it? I'm working on my debt snowball too and the best part is seeing my payment go further and further each month as I pay more and more of the principle and less interest!

Congrats with everything and good luck!

Thank you! And I am breathing the mentality that an extra $10 belongs in the pay off bucket. I am carrying cash- which scares me. I worry about it getting stolen. So I hide the loot in the house and only carry a small amount on me when I grocery shopping or get gas. It is annoying to have to go in and prepay for gas everytime, but I am adjusting to it.
Renting the camper is also scary because the clientel that wants to rent it is trying to save money themselves and not do hotels. So, it gives me a certain type of clientel that can be hard to work with. But, I figure the worst and best thing that can happen is they destroy it and I collect insurance on it and bye bye camper payment. Right? (It's already listed for sale.)
Any other tips are greatly appreciated too. What are you doing radical to earn extra money? Oh, new thread idea!
