I'm all for getting rid of debt and we are almost there!! We haven't been to Disney since 2010 so we could focus on getting rid of the debt. We did not give up vacations- just made them much shorter and close to home- the zoo and hotel for a night, Sea World in San Antonio for a day or two, trips to visit Grandparents and cousins (free room and board!). My kids still had a blast and still have great memories!
Besides our mortgage, we are on track to be done with our truck payment in June. That will be it! We're hoping to be done sooner with my wife's income added to the payments but it's all commission, and therefore unpredictable so hard to put on the spreadsheet! It is because of that end date and the "freedom" of being rid of everything else that we have our June trip scheduled! And it is NOT adding to our debt. It will all be paid for in CASH!
Best of luck to all doing this debt dump. It can be done - and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is such a great reward!
