We paid off just over $23,000 in one year and four months. The debt consisted of my student loans and a car loan. What inspired you to get debt free? I went through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University when I was 18 years old. That inspired me to be intentional with my finances and to follow Dave’s six steps.

How much debt did you pay off? What kind of debt was it? All of our debt was $97,000 in student loan debt. We had been paying on it our entire marriage, but could not afford to pay too much above the minimum payment requirement. If married, who initiated the debt free goal?

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.) Then my husband decided to pay off his car.
