I'm a single dad, just hit $14,000 (20%) of my debt paid off, and it feels good, but it does feel like I have an incredibly long road ahead. We are on the right road, and it takes time, but we will ge there. Congrats, good luck and keep up the good work! I’m with you!

Rachel, a lot of the same techniques that work for weight loss work for paying down debt. Telling people about your goals is a big one, since social pressure is a huge motivator. Congrats Bek you have achieved what others cannot – 1/3 of the way

1/4 of the way, I’m pretty sure.

I know HOW to do it, but I just lack the motivation. I LOVED your idea of setting up a blog as a way of documenting the process, so I set up my own called Reigning Money. It's a very cathartic experience to lay it all out there like that. Thanks! I caught your blog during a search today on how to get motivated to get debt free.

Once you start the journey you will find that it becomes easier and faster to get to the end. Start planning for what you will do when you get to that point.

Too many people float along with their debt mostly because they're able to pay to maintain it (I know I'm still one of those people... but that's changing). Remember you didn't get yourself into debt at once so you're not going to get out of debt quickly either. Keep it up and you'll be debt free before you know it. You’ve come a far way in a short time!

That's pretty impressive! But, I know that when you're focusing on the final goal you can get impatient. At least I do. So, sometimes, you need to stop and look at how far you've come, and $10,000 is really great! Btw, does CA give you a break on your car insurance if you take public transportation? Here in MA I can get $75 back from my car insurance if I show the insurance company proof that I've purchased 10 mass transit passes for the past 12 months. Also, I can get a low mileage discount on my premium. $10K is nothing to sneeze at! That’s pretty impressive! But, I know that when you’re focusing on the final goal you can get impatient.
