October $2100 maintenance repair to the trailblazer, November $1,000 rear brakes/ebrake repair on the sub, December $1200 repair to the septic pump on the stick and brick. How is that for 3 months of shyt hitting the fan?
If I were you, I would sell everything and start over. It's much easier to be debt free and buildup than it is to be in the hole and play catchup. Todays economy is tough, and much tougher than the media is letting on. Lastly, I would recommend following a modified version of the Dave Ramsey Debt Free Plan. He's the one who gave me the idea to cut up all our credit cards in 2008. Dave Ramsey doesn't always give the best mathematical advice, but his psychological approach to paying off debt was something that we could relate to.
