What Amount Would It Take To Get You Out Of Debt?
I am going to make a private poll with ranges to be chosen. I am wanting to make this poll so that it is least likely to make anyone feel like they are giving away any personal information.
I was going to first make it to be "What amount would it take to turn your life around?"
For me.. about $25,000 would get my family completely out of debt.
About twice that much would pay off all debts and allow us to begin doing things to further accomplish goals (Getting off the grid... increasing our farm, animals etc.)

Less than $20,000. That includes house, car and other bills. We're working hard at making that happen.

Wow. That amount would pay off just one of our 6 student loans, and of course that doesn't touch the cars or house. LOL

Hooray for you. That is great news.

My parents and grandparents taught me very well. I never felt they were preaching at me, though they might have felt they were. Though I still learned some things the hard way, I've been very thankful for all they taught me about finances, and have tried to pass some of those lessons on.

Indeed. I talk to my kids often about debt. I hope they will learn from my words but, in doing so, I am hoping they won't be like me. LOL... With all the good teaching I had to learn much the hard way. And they may too.
I'm just going to do all I can to facilitate a wise road. The rest is up to them. I know I had enough info to do better than I did. We are just bound and determined to learn it on our own sometimes.

It's called age.

Be glad to trade.
