I'm wanting to pay everything off so I can get my own place and skate more (where I'm living now is a total hell hole)

Jan - May 09:

Debt: 400
Left: 72 (minus any tuition)
Debt total at end = 7713

Jun - Oct 09:

Debt 450
Left: 12
Debt total at end = 5463

I am not being realistic in what I can live on etc I am looking for a secnd job (evening &/or weekend) but it's not easy and the above doesn't take into account a pay rise in April.

I will gladly drop my month debt payments and have the debt longer if it means get my own place.
