A blog to help me document my journey out of debt.
About Me:
ceejay74
I'm the CFO of a three-adult, two-child, two-cat household. There's me (CJ, age 49), my husband (NT, age 50), my wife (AS, age 44), and our kids AA (age 13) and SL (age 11). The cats are named Whiskey and Clue and they're about 12 years old.
Until July 2007 we hadn't been serious about financial stability, but then we started focusing on paying down our massive debt, building an emergency fund and saving for retirement. In October 2010, we finished paying off all of our credit card debt--over $70,000! Adding in student loans and mortgages, we've paid off more than $250,000 of debt so far. In June 2015, we used a windfall to pay off all our remaining non-home-related debt!
