		<description>Tricia, check out CRT TV&#039;S.  Our TV recently bit the dust.  My husband took it to a fix-it shop with hopes and pulled some info out of the fix-it man.  He said to stay away from plasmas and LCD&#039;s.  He said CRT&#039;s are more easily fixable.  He also said that the bigger name brands may not be necessarily better, but the parts are going to be more readily available.  CRT&#039;S are bulky, but we have been checking prices and they are a better financial possibility.</description>

		<description>Wow you had an amazing year in 2006. Great job in paying down 13,000 in debt. My total credit card debt is around that amount if I can do that in a year I would feel so good.</description>

		<description>Tricia,

I just love your blog - you speak honestly and are walking the same journey as so many of us.  Your blog is one that has majorly motivated me to get a move on with this debt reduction.  I love this summary and went to the debt planner site you provided and found out that it would take approximately 21 years and 7 months to pay off our credit card debt at the minimum payments - OUCH and YIKES.  I plan to do it in 6 years and that should be easily done, especially with putting all extra funds (tax returns and company bonuses) towards debt reduction, so hopefully sooner.  Within that time our HELOC should also be paid off and we will only be sitting on a mortgage and student loan debt as our vehicles will be paid off in 2-3 years also.  

I also need to comment that it is all about spending less than you make.  We make a very good income, but 3 international adoptions and living above our means contributed to this heavy debt.  I have recently laid out our financial goals for 2007 and I am EXCITED!

Thanks for getting me more motivated!!!!</description>
