The past few weeks I have felt a sense of urgency to get out of debt that I have not felt before.
I have been working on it steadily for about a year and a half now, but the crisis in the housing market and other economic indicators have really gotten me focused on getting out of debt as soon as possible.
The more I observe what is going on around me and hear the horror stories of couples hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, the more thankful I am that our debt is only $65,000.
I really want to get the debt out of the way and get a fully funded emergency fund built up, just in case.
