Hello Divas! I came across this video of Dave Ramsey discussing his "Debt Snowball" method. Take a look at the video and let me know if you think the Debt Snowball is a good strategy for eliminating debt. Is is a go, or a no?
Nay. Listen to Just One Donna, please. Same concept, different focus. List all your debts, add them up. Keep a running total of total debt on a spread sheet. Pay the minimum every month on all but the highest interest debt. Pay as much extra as you can on the highest interest debt. Monitor your total debt each month. Your goal is to get that total number to be less and less each month. Pay cash for new purchases and don't add to your total debt. Do this and you'll be debt free and able to retire at 55, or maybe sooner. Yeah!...Been there, done that!

Thank you Donna! I know there are other ways to do this, but I definitely wanted others' opinion on DR's model.
