This is a great strategy and I have heard it called “trimming the fat” by some financial professionals. It works! The acceleration along with focus gets the results. More people need to know about this!

It is amazing when we each add up how much money we can waste! The problem though is most of us don’t add up how much it is to really know. Getting people to focus on using what would normally be wasted money; redirected to reducing their debt is a good resource for most people to start with!

Thanks for all the comments! Yes, you will keep more of your money if you order your debts by interest rate, but for some of us, the morale boost is necessary. For me, it’s what kept me encouraged by my progress.

I agree that this time of year is difficult. The obligations see to add up during the summer — not to mention the family trips and vacations! While it slowed things up a bit, I often cut back a little bit in my debt reduction. But if you do that, you should have the discipline to pick back up when the summer ends…

Finally, it is amazing how much money you can “find” if you make a list of your expenses and prioritize them to cut out the unnecessary items. Some months, when we go back and see what we’ve spent money on, that waste really is close to 25%!
