If I were in your shoes, I would focus more on the process and on good habits , rather than on the ultimate goal of being free of credit card debt.

We have led 7 sessions of Financial Peace University mostly to keep ourselves motivated. We ate at home a lot and watched our food budget carefully. We still allotted a lot of money for food, but we were careful not to go too far over budget. Who initiated the debt free goal? Daniel does all the day-to-day finances.

Every time I have to walk into one because it’s my only option for a food and a bathroom break for the next hundred miles, I suck it up and begin the search- an apple, maybe a salad (but hold the creamy dressing), and a mini bag of pretzels. Grabbing fast food or whatever’s convenient, skipping workouts, etc. I hate rest stops.

We had tried other methods in the past, but found this one suited us best since it forced us to focus on one goal at a time, rather than trying to do it all (pay off debt and contribute to savings and retirement). Shop with a list, and not just for food. If married, who initiated the debt free goal?
