I am getting married in October. Since we already live together, we have been discussing finances, budgets, and debt. According to some, my debt is nothing for me to worry about. However, I feel that almost $50,000 in debt is a bit too much. While only about $10,000 of that is consumer debt (credit cards, same-as-cash appliance financing, etc), I think it’s high time to get on top of this and eliminate it now.

Since one of the steps to getting anything done is to write it down; I’m going a step further here and writing it down on my blog. I plan on posting updates on my progress towards ridding myself of this debt as well as tips and tricks from the debt reduction websites I read daily.

I hope my experience here can help someone else to focus their efforts into ridding themselves of the debt monster.
