According to the teaching of Dave Ramsey and Crown Financial, we are working toward getting $1,000 into an emergency fund before we tackle our debt head on. This will keep us from going into further debt if the car needs repair or something.

We've got $250 saved so far. I may be able to put another $200 in the account, but I'm really not sure how much money I have in my checking account -- a lot of unreconciled debit card purchases.

I get paid tomorrow. We're living with my wife's parents for the time being so we have a lot of extra money to get ourselves on track financially.

After payday tomorrow, I might be able to put another $500 into the emergency fund. In any case, I think we'll have the it funded in under a month!

Here goes: we are 32,000 in debt plus a 10,000 car. 28,000 of this is credit card debt. A few thousand of this credit card debt is from my car -- i wanted to bring down the principal on the car loan so I could refinance. 10,000 or so of the credit card debt is related to a stupid timeshare purchase (which we sold to pay taxes last year).

I make $55,000 a year and my wife doesn't work at the present time. We are living with my wife's parents to get ourselves on track financially.

Well, we are in faith that with God's help and a lot of better decisions, we'll be able to get out of debt in a few years.
