We have become totally dedicated and focused on getting out of debt. Chris has started waiting tables 5 nights a week on top of teaching. We take ALL of the money he makes and it goes to pay off our debt. Well I am very excited to report that we paid off our first credit card today! HORRAY! He works so hard and is gone so much it's nice to get a little reward for all of his efforts! It is such a good feeling to have one gone and look forward to the next one going away too! (probably in about 6 weeks, barring any major catastrophes!)So the next time you go out to dinner tip your waiter well because you never know if he (or she) may be a poor school teacher working to get his family out of debt! :)

I am soo proud of you guys- that is what we are doing this year- trying to pay off our debt before we buy a house- Good Job and make sure to give your hubby some massages for his hard work!!
Gretchen your post just made me happy! What a great family you are! Miss seeing you!
YAY for you guys! It is such much work, but it will pay off in the end. There is nothing like that feeling of weight eing lifted each time you pay something off.
It makes you want to go celebrate...except that takes money... :o)
Way to go Chris and Gretchen - if I can figure out how to eat at Carrabba's 5 nights a week and tip Chris in a hefty way, without going into debt myself - - - I am so there! (I am sure Paul is already developing a plan!)
Gretchen- Great Job!!! That is not easy to do. Congratulations! Don't forget to celebrate-- Even a homemade cake doesn't cost more than a dollar. :)
Gretche, that is awesome!!! :-) Must be such a great feeling! :)
Congrats! That is no small feat and waiting tables is hard work--so is teaching school. Way to go!
Yeah!!! How nice to have one paid off and to see that it really is possible. ...And how awesome it will be when the other ones are behind you too. I know the sacrifice stinks, but I'm so proud of you guys for making it a priority. There is nothing worse than credit card debt.
Keep up the good work!
