Default Re: Which bill would you pay off first?

I agree. When my hubby and I were first married we both came with a credit card debt. Since I am the tightwad and he tends to spend spend spend! LOL! I had a lower debt on my card and truck note than he did. His truck note and mine were the same amount but his had more months on it!
I paid off the lowest one first. The next month I paid what I normally would to card #2 plus the amount I was sending to card #1 til it was paid off. Then NOW THIS TAKES DISAPPLINE!
I took the #1 amount and the #2 amount and what I was paying on the shortest payment truck note and paid it off. Before long it was too, paid off and I managed to pay the last one in two years instead of four. For the longest of the struggle months I felt I was getting no where because there wasn't extra in the checkbook. But then after blood sweat and tears, I made that last truck note and poof! I felt rich!
