Default Re: Paying Yourself vs. Paying Credit Cards

The first thing you got to do is stop using the credit cards. If you are currently using them, cut them up destroy them etc.

I would build a small emergency fund. $1000. That way if something happens like you car breaks down you have cash to pay it rather than using the emergency fund.

Then become a crazy lady paying down your debt. I wrote an article in my Jan newsletter http://www.budgetdial.com/news-Jan0105.htm on what steps to take and what my DH and I did to greatly decrease our debt.
