If you see the business as replacing one or both of you job incomes in the future, how much revenue and net profit you expect from the business and how long until you make the change? You seemed to accelerate the debt repayment when your husband went to work full time. Would you share some of the income info and how you used tha additional income? Finally, you still have student loans and a mortgage. I think your mortgage is around $35,000, but I can't recall if you ever said how much the two of you have in student loans. What is your debt repayment plan for the remaining debt and how much do you have left to pay? How do you anticipate paying for your son's education - will you advise him to take on student loans? I have really enjoyed reading your blog and watching your ideas and attitudes evolve over the last several years. The quotes from your son demonstate how much you have changed. I hope you will continue to update your readers on your progress in paying off the remaining debt and increasing your income.

Also, what do you do for your regular paying job? And last, once you're totally debt free, do you want to stay and live in the same area where you are now? I think you've commented before that you'd like to be closer to family but couldn't afford to right now. I love when you talk about buying your future "cabin". Congrats on all you've accomplished!!!

I've always wondered what you are doing and how it is going. I love it when you say things seem to be going well with it, and I just want so much more information about it!

So what I would really like to know is all of the strategies you used to eliminate your debt - and to be as specific as possible. A kind of "how I did it" post. Love your blog. It's already been a big help. I have only been reading for the last 6 months or so.

What are your future plans for credit/credit cards? Are you going to swear off of them or keep them around "just in case"?

What are your future plans for credit/credit cards? Are you going to swear off of them or keep them around “just in case”?

Is it more towards the end of the month when all of the monthly expenses are paid or at the beginning? What is your cash flow like? Do you keep a few dollars in your checking account? How does that work? Thank you in advance. Hi Tricia,

Are you going to accelerate your payment on these or are you content to pay as agreed. We have no consumer debt no car loans even, just a mortgage and student loans. Our student loans don't bother DH but they drive me crazy - all are below 2% interest though.

I also wonder what you feel is the best route to take to make more money in order to pay off debt faster? Thanks! P.S. I'm a stay-at-home mom and have already cut back on groceries, no cable, cars are older and have been paid off for a while. We eat at home and the kids/husband brown bag lunches. Hi, Tricia
