We knew I would want to stay home when we had kids so we had to get rid of a huge category in our budget...plus we can't stand debt. It's so freeing! Now focus on our daily bills, a hefty retirement, and college funds.

We too are trying to get out of most of our debt (besides our mortgage) THIS YEAR.
