Financial Bizzaro World: Year One

Welcome to the Bizarro World Debt Elimination Freakshow. This is the year-long story of two creative-types trying to pay off debt while trying to get kids through college. This is us with our guts out on the table. This is us looking to make a change, and looking to do it in the course of a year, and this is how we're going to do it. We have two primary goals. The first and most important is to pay off approximately $24,700 in debt. The second is to live a life free from fear, especially that cold, numbing special kind of financial fear. We will get into gory details about the debt, we will struggle, we will fight, our will will be shaken. We're not the kind of bloggers that have $25,000 in credit card debt but $147,000 in IRA's and investments or whatnot. There's no security net in our Bizzaro World. We're fighting our way to zero, and from there it's another adventure. The question is, are you in, or are you out? You're out? Hey, no biggie. It's...no, really. It's okay. There's lots of blogs to read, right? But check back. Things are going to get bizarre.
