I understand what your husband is saying about the van, but honestly their are roomy brand new cars out their for less than $30,000. I know you have three children, but new 2006 Ford Taurus can be found for around $12000. Just an example.

You really are doing well. You have made quite a few changes already. That is something to cheer about.!!

Well, my DH won't buy ANYTHING vehicle wise, unless it's a Honda or a Toyota. And I've been looking for certified used (he said he'd compromise if I could find a "certified" used under $10000.) And I can't...at least anywhere in the state of NC. I'm searching Indiana right now because I know we will be there in October.

And I am excited about all the changes being made. My Dh is calling today to stop contributing to the 529 plans. I've already put it on my calendar for next year to start them back up again. But I honestly see all the CC debt being gone by next August!!!!
