Question
What is the biggest amount of debt you ever paid off?
I am currently writing my story on my blog. On Christmas Eve 2008, I was unemployed with $647,000 of debt. I have since read Dave Ramsey's My Total Money Makeover and I am intensely focused on getting back to zero. Having so much debt though makes me discouraged at times. Can you guys share what is the most you ever paid off? See my blog at mydebtcomeback.blogspot.com

Keep up with Dave's plan. We have paid off (so far) $47,000 and paid cash for grad school and had a few emergencies. BTW- cool blog. I like thinking of our debt as zombies all they do is suck the life out you and so does debt. Without the house, we are now down to 5 figure debt...that feels good. I love seeing the progress and each time we tick of another $10k we celebrate and raise a cocktail...at home it's cheaper :-) Maybe you and your fiance should go to FPU together and she would have a better understanding.

Just my opinion....but, if you have $647,000 in debt, you should be in prison. Not yahoo answers.

We paid off $150,000 when we sold our old house. However, the new house cost over 3 times that, so I don't know if it really counts. LOL. Good Luck with everything.
