We do not have kids at the moment. We surely do pay taxes (too much I think). Last March (2007), I begin to really save my money. I saved up almost $9000 dollars. Paid my wifes student loan off with that. We got married last October and our tax refund was pretty big (around $2600) since then we have adjusted that to where we are bringing home more money each pay check. Used that toward the remaining debt. I will say, my God helped us be frugal and we ATTACKED the remainer of our debt. I believe the key from the beginning was when we started a budget where we assigned EVERY dollar a name. It has worked wonders. If you need any more info, I will surely be glad to help. Thanks.
