We paid off over $147,000 in debt (actually way over that amount, if you want to count a $210,000 rental property that I sold at a slight loss.) About $52,000 of that $147K was consumer debt (credit cards, a student loan, a car loan, a home improvement loan, etc.) The rest was our house. Then my husband decided to pay off his car.

I had $29,000 in MBA student loans, $14,000 in credit cards, and $13,000 in a car loan. It took me five years to pay off my debt but two of those years I had a job loss, I was taking care of my grandparents and I had lost my motivation and drive to pay off the debt. Simply doing a budget.
