It is totally for your situation, but a lot of effort. He starts with the basics. What do you bring in after taxes, what are you spending it on, are your car(s) too expensive, is there anything you can sell? Then once that is where he likes it, he starts you paying off your debts - not in order of interest rate - but from smallest to largest in what is called the debt snowball. The experience has shown that his plan of attack actually works, but most people are so panicked when things get really tight they just can't think straight. The book really helps. [ Reply | More

General Topics 05.22.08, 09:08 AM Flag

well, that's perfect then. Make minimum payments on all of them, but cut expenses to the bone and put every spare nickel on the smallest debt. Once that is out of the way, you have more money to apply to the next smallest debt. You gather momentum as you go, because those minimum payments that were eating you up start to disappear. But don't refinance and put it all on the house. [ Reply | More
