In my last year, I racked up a significant amount of debt. Medical expenses, unemployment, and let’s be honest… depression spending, have put me $46,000 in the hole. I had two existing personal loans in addition to this (yes, I know, this is bad). I created this repayment calculator to help myself stay on track and get out of credit card debt this calendar year.
My monthly income is roughly:
$8,000 per month, post-tax for my salaried job
$500-800 per month for our Airbnb bedroom rental (my portion)
$300 per month on our Cripple Creek rental home (my portion - total $2,200 rent on a $1,700 mortgage).

What have I done to cut expenses?
Changed all of our insurance policies and switched to Progressive from USAA. This saves us roughly $500 per month, or $6,000 over the course of the year.
