It was a fantastic experience, easily the best vacation I have ever been on, not because of the location or events of the vacation as much as the reason we went. It is worth the sacrifice to become debt free. My wife and I took a vacation to celebrate when we were completely debt free!

With that said, you should consider buying on credit when possible. Everyone can't save up and pay for a house but you can pay cash for washing machines, refrigorators etc. Consider a used one if you can't afford a new appliance. In a few years you will be able to pay cash for a new one with the interest you saved. Trying to avoid finance charges when possible is the key.

I was suuuper young when I went into debt (16 years old I was over $12,000, by 18 I was $15,000)... Mainly because of auto loan and college/credit cards... I know exactly where you are now though... I am 21 years old and am debt free, aside from my house which I own, but it is an investment rental to be once I'm done with the remodel. This is a great post that really lets others know possibilities do exist, you just have to be willing to go after them... once you get past the trials and tribulations, the doors of opportunity do open up!

Once you see the progress and know that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, it motivates you to get to the end quicker. Getting that first loan paid off is a big accomplishment, but even better is that you’ve now changed how you approach your finances in the first place. Paying off debt creates its own momentum.

I too found a way to fight myself and recover from -1500$ on the bank account and 4000$ on the credit card. I currently am renting a house to live with my girlfriend that wasn't possible last year.

But, of course, not all people can do what you've done. I wish I could do the same for myself. I've been having a hard time with my mortgage. Thanks for sharing your experience. It's consoling.

I am motivated how you sacrificed a lot just to pay your debts in just 6 months -- that's totally awesome. I just wish I can do the same, but I think it will take me a year or two before I could settle my debts. Hi Jon,
