    Hello Bublin1, I see in your sig that you are a Dave Ramsey Fan ,so am i :) although i didn't follow his advice to get an emergency fund going straight away , i wanted to concentrate on getting my debts paid off asap.


    The credit cards have now all gone so i`m on my way to building up that fund :) this was just my preferred way of doing things for the ultimate result,the snow ball effect is a good method ,but i went further and concentrated on the highest credit card APR first.


    I first discovered Dave on the whats the cost website as he was mentioned about paying down debts in lowest to highest regardless of interest rates .


    I have seen the Financial peace University on youtube ,but cant say i am into cars that much :)


    regards M
