    It just amazes me how quick you pay down your debt! Hopefully I can be like you when I grow up... Smile

    Yeah, but you should've seen how fast I built the debt up in the first place! :-)

    Seriously though, I'm lucky to have 3 incomes flowing in. Before that though, when there were only two, when I decided we needed to stop going into debt and reverse the money flow, I basically just cut out pleasures that cost money for a few months. We got very little spending money, we weren't allowed to use credit cards, and that basically meant cooking at home every single meal, not going out anywhere, and finding cheap ways to entertain ourselves and keep our friends. (Hosting happy hours at our place was cheap; hosting a potluck BYOB happy hour would be even cheaper!) It was a brutal change of lifestyle, but it did it for us. Now we can breathe easier, but we still have to say "no" or "wait" to many things we want.

    You are in a much hard place, koppur, so don't ask too much of yourself. Even just maintaining your current level of debt would be an amazing accomplishment! Things will change though. :-)
