I have 3 mortgages = $70,000. One of them will hopefully be paid off in 7 years and the others in less than 15, about the time I retire. No credit card debt, thank goodness.
You’re making the right choice by making the extra payment. Keep with it; it’ll pay itself off in more ways than you can imagine in the future!
Keep at it. Slow and steady may not win the race, but you will finish the marathon and that is what these goals are all about.
Congrats Landgraf on decreasing your debt. Keep going!!
We have over $16k in debt not including our $120k mortgage.
I’m not sure I understood what the “extra payment goal” was so disregard it. I thought it was $ per month devoted to paying down debt. (??) The amount of debt is accurate, though. I hope to update that within a week or two.
I just found this website – and I wish everyone speedy and prosperous debt-freedom. Aside from a single financial advantage (I trade off labor for home payment), my wife and I will be celebrating 1 year of being debt-free!
Regardless of the math, the debt-snowball really helped us…paying off the small balances for quick wins and rolling it into to bigger stuff.
Keep going…we’re not wealthy, but we are free from that burden!
