We sold our car for about $300 less than what we owed. We went to the bank with the buyer; he handed over his check for the amount of the sale, and we handed them the remainder of what was owed. Once that's done the title is mailed to the buyer. Yes that is right if I understand your question. We sold our car for about $300 less than what we owed.

I will definatly be putting that tip to good use. It also inspires me that if Michael can get out of debt in a year than maybe I could too. However, first things first I need to get a weekly more accurate budget set up. Thanks for all the tips.

It's why I decided to include the allocated budget sheet in my last budget update. Oh and about your last remark. Those words make me smile. Debt is a great thing to hate! :D @moneyfunk – glad you liked it! :)

And congrats on your dedication to getting out of debt. Also, I agree with budgeting every payperiod. I budget every week and it really does help. You see the nitty gritty of the bigger picture in mind. And the other comment, "It is said that once you start doing smart things with money, money finds you." This is where I feel I am at. Ideas are flowing in how to bring in extra income, cutting the "extras" is freeing up money, etc... It really is an exciting time to see it Snowball. And it is great to have my family involved in this task. Thanks for the great post. Very inspirational. Great post! And congrats on your dedication to getting out of debt.

That makes so much sense to me. I've been procrastinating on the budget b/c it seems overwhelming. But, 2 week budget seem reasonable. My biggest problem...convincing my husband that this is what we need to do. I gave up my 30k/yr to raise our kids. I work part time now, but we cut out 'all' the extras last year and are still living paycheck to paycheck. So guess what's next, the vacation club, the boat, the big cell phone plan...it was much easier giving up the daily $10 lunches and all the channels on TV. I HATE DEBT!
