I joined the forum in September so didn't follow the challenges throughout the year.

Originally I started off saving for a house and then I decided to use the funds to pay off debt, and pay off debt is what I did. I paid off a total of 9 credit cards close to $6000 so I am happy and one student loan ($300). Some things I did was:
*added a buck for the days i did not spend any money
*If I spent money on things I did not need I matched that amount
*Rounded up all my change
*I pay bills online so what I would have paid in stamps I added to the challenge
* I also matched what I saved in coupons
basically that was it, I am just happy I have no more cc debt
Now for 2007 I will save for my first home and pay off my last student loan
