    Debt Progress

    fist

    Starting Debt Total (January) :  $21,952

    Current Debt Total (March, 1 year later)  :  $0

    Goal Status : We Made It!

     

    It took 14 months, but we are completely free of consumer debt!

    If you find yourself in a similar boat, don’t panic– you can do it too.

    Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about how we were able to pay off nearly $22,000 of debt in fourteen months, or if you need help getting started yourself.  We created this website to help others who are on a similar journey, and we are always happy to hear from you.

      Nice progress! What program did you use to make that chart? Excel?

        The spreadsheets in Google Docs actually update the graph real time! Pretty sweet!

      Wow, I didn’t know Google Docs could do that!

      This is a highly inspiring post! In fact this has lead me to post my own debt reduction page on my website. Thank you for the inspiration.

      I love a bit of google docs action! Even better when it tells a story like this! Good for you guys!

      Nice job on your debt, I’m currently working on my debt as well and nothing motivates me faster than seeing that I’m on track with my goals. Keep up the good work and keep us updated on your progress!

      Very inspiring progress – I’m just starting on mine and hope to be out of debt by the end of the year. Best wishes for eliminating your debt by your projected end time!

      BOOM!

      That is awesome! Way to go!!!!

      BTW, we met very briefly at Fincon. I think it was when you were talking with Derek Halpern in the gallery?
      My wife and I are starting our podcast soon and starting to collect 30-second sound clips from people like yourself.

      Let me know if you are interested. I think your story could help others.
