I'm doing this too.  First, the smallest bills, then the next and the next.  A feeling of accomplishment starts to mound up inside and before you know it, the last bills are being paid also.  I can't wait until the next bill bites the dust...celebrate each balance paid in full. I'm rewarding myself with a very special lunch and maybe a new dress... paying cash of course!!  Good luck, the adventure begins.

Congratulations on choosing to take more financial responsiblility.  The Snowball Plan absolutely works.  It worked for me.  Best of luck to both of you.  I hope you'll post your progress.  Accomplishing this goal was such a fantastic feeling of triumph.  How is it coming along so far?
