I plan to tey to cut household bills down ie washer doesnt always need to be on. Pack ups can be made more often.

    I'd like to get in order by this time next year too. Yes I think it's possible. Have a look at the debt free screams on the dave Ramsey show on youtube. Really motivating to hear how much money can be cleared if you are determined.
