Progress report

We began our journey to get out of debt in April 2011. As you can see from the list below, we are making progress. Here is a list of where we are and where we've been. I've tried to be as transparent as possible and have included links so you can read about our journey.

Our journey is a slow haul that goes up a steep hill. Some track work may have to be done before the train arrives at the debt free depot but I'm convinced that we'll get there. This page helps us stay focused on how far we've come and gives us a better view of our debt free future. It does not cover our regular monthly expenses unless we can do something to significantly lower the costs.
