Getting the credit cards down is key. Hopefully you got a good rate on the student loans and the auto loan. You appear to be in good shape. Better than me anyways! Good work.

If you could go back and do it over, which debt would you keep? What were the biggest mistakes? What jumps out to me is the $12k in car loans. You actually do not have a ton of credit card debt compared to some people, and your student loan is "good" debt, an investment in your future. But you can get a running car that will last you for 5+ years for a few thousand dollars. I don't understand why so many people go into debt for cars. Was this number for two cars or just one? Did you buy new? What might you have done differently so that others could avoid your mistakes? It's not just about paying down debt, it's also about not getting into debt in the first place.

We are going to try to get everything paid off in about 6-8 months! One of my biggest reasons to just get it over with is so we can have baby #3 and pay for the bills in one lump sum and be done with it! So, thank you for the inspiration!
