October of 2015 we got serious about getting our finances under control, found a better job and made the decision to eliminate our consumer debt across the board, all $65,400 of it, cars, travel trailer, credit cards, we had the whole mess going on. Fortunately we had been contributing to our 401ks and not mooching off the home equity.
It took 18 months to eliminate all the debt, we also refi'd the house into a 15-year fixed at 3%, we've been making double principal payments but we may stop that and start investing it once I get over the mental hurdle. We should be ready to FIRE once the house is paid off in ~7 years assuming the market doesn't completely crash at some point.
Along the way I discovered MMM and started lurking and learning, looks like I joined almost exactly 1 year ago, still learning!
