Lists and more lists

Trevor and I are very much list people. Trevor starts getting anxiety until he makes a list, just writing the list helps him to feel a little better. I have SO MANY lists. That I lose them, or the length overwhelms me and I have to just ignore the list for awhile. But then I get so overwhelmed because I know the list is there and is HAUNTING ME!!! In my head it is all list form and all visual. So in an effort to accomplish a list that has haunted us like no other and we just want to see the end of this list. Trevor and I are going hard core and are doing whatever it takes to get out of debt this year. We have mapped it all out, in list form, and if we stay hard core, and no giant surprises show up, we can be free in October! So to help me on my quest I made a fun little board with all the bills on them, so I will not forget one. It is colorful and just the way I need it to look. Fun and CHALLENGING!
There are like 25 bills on here I balance in my head all the time, no wonder they stress me out. Only 6 of them could I really kick to the curb, I could add Internet for 7 but I am not going to. If our debt was crazy large I probably would. It is manageable med-large. Keep in mind we own two house and one is a duplex so some of the stuff is like owning 3 houses. So we are selling our cars, in gas alone I will save anywhere from $65 to $150 a month. Cars can be re bought. I absolutely adore my car! The Pilot show above. Trevor also has a fun car, a Mazda 3, a cheaper model car but to us it is fabulous. Out of debt is worth the lose of comfort for awhile. We are reading financial books, which Trevor has read before but mainly for my benefit to help me feel motivated. Bring it on. I am so freaking excited! Although my kids are very sad we are selling our cars and wonder where our stuff will go. The little $3000-$5000 car can hold our stuff too. lol
It looks like Trevor has possibly found a buyer for his car, if you know anyone interested her is the ad for mine. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=0&nid=443&tab=list/view&ad=4926209 As we are believers in giving people good deals and not pieces of junk. Trevor did my brakes and the oil in my car. Caleb was over the moon watching the work on a car.
