We’re nearly halfway there. I got an updated payoff date according to our Debt Snowball Calculator on DaveRamsey.com…
December 2010.
We shaved off 4 months so far. Can I get a Woo Hoo?
Beks is a full-time government employee who enjoys blogging late into the night after her four kids have gone to sleep. She’s been married to Chris, her college sweetheart, for 15 years. In 2017, after 3 long years working the Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, they paid off more than $70K and became debt free. When she’s not working or blogging, she’s exploring the great outdoors.
WOOO HOOO.
Absolutely pumped for you guys who want to do it the right way and not complain, I have only 205 dollars left on my student loan and let me just say how fired up I am about it. Im 23 and finished up 4 months ahead of my 20k 1 year plan. It feels great to shave off time and when you do smart things with money you seem to be rewarded with more. Anyway, It seems like a long time away but you can absolutley do it. Anytime I didn’t feel like spending an entire 2 weeks worth of pay, I would throw on a dave ramsey podcast and click the send button.
ITS SOO WORTH IT
Wooo Hooo… Congrats…
Question? Your only remaining debt is your truck & student loan? Am I reading this correctly? So you do not have a mortgage payment? I heard now is definitely the time to buy in California.
That’s awesome! I’m jealous and inspired…is that even possible?
Woo hoo! Way to go!
Woo Hoo and Yeaaaa!!!!
Nice job!! You’re getting there, and fast!
Excellent job. The halfway point IS fast approaching.
and to ZFarls, there is something to what you say about getting smart with money making more of it appear. It’s true for boyfriends too… 😉
Way to go Beks!!!!!!! That is awesome!
How’s the marathon pre-training going?
Good luck with both!

Not bad! I think my debt calculator gives me two more years. Compared to what it could have been, not bad:)
Thanks!! I’m still elated!!
Stacey – I’m still training (though the heat has kept me inside for two weeks now) and I’m debating competing in a triathlon in mid-October. I’m a strong cyclist and think I could do well. My running and swimming still needs improvement!
