I used our $1,200 rebate and continued to make $350 payments, even though they only wanted $60 each month. I had a 3.99% interest rate for one year which will end in September 2008. I plan to pay it off one month early (hence the August deadline) so they don't catch me with some sort of fee, because I'm sure they will find one to tack on to my bill. Unfortunately, the Visa will take a bit longer - several years, but I'm on a mission to be cc debt free in a couple of years.

Once you get intense about paying off debt, you can do so much with every extra bit you bring in. I think online work opportunities are great for the flexibility they offer. Online writing is a growing field with lots of promise. I agree that getting a second job can make a huge difference.

I have just reached my first debt reduction milestone and it is my birthday soon. We have decided to go and see a film and possibly have a meal out - letting the children stay with their grandparents for the evening. It will be a great treat and will not break the bank and we can celebrate the two occasions at once. Great advice. I have just reached my first debt reduction milestone and it is my birthday soon.
