Automobiles are often necessary for getting to and from work, running errands, and for getting from point A to point B. They max out all of their credit card to purchase living room, bedroom, and dining room sets. A car can be deemed a necessary purchase depending upon where you live.

We usually go with one empty credit card, put everything on that ONE card so it’s easy to keep track of, and try our best not to go over our spending goal. Our points add up quickly and can be rolled into free nights! This can be a considerable expense, bringing me to my next point. Loyalty can pay off.

We paid down mostly student loans, vehicles and business credit card debt ( we already own a home outright ). Kelvin came along (using airline points) and we lived it up in Vegas for 6 days and drove over to LA to see friends for a day. It wasn’t until the last 2 years that we got serious. Was there a particular event?

I am so impressed by the amount of biking and walking she and her family do, especially since it’s the functional sort, to get yourself from point A to point B. I ate the majority of my meals in a dining hall where “cleaning up” just meant putting my tray on a rack near the exit. And I had no kids or spouse!

And this is just on a mortgage, not including any credit card or student loan debt. At one point towards the end of our 33 month journey, we were paying 5 times our mortgage (over $5,000) towards our house. Dine out on a budget – We used a coupon for 98% of our dining out experiences.

The debt included overdraft protection, mattress, car, and a credit card (post divorce stress spending, clothes to accommodate the yo yo diets and weight for 2 years, a trip to Disney World & I’m sure several things that I don’t remember because I was spending without a plan). How much debt did you pay off?
