Hey Magic...
Glad to read this! I remember this thread well.....long sucker isn't it?
I'm happy to read that you guys were able to *not* use those CCs despite being out of work with back surgery. That's huge...and a good sign that this time you have really made a definite life change. That's great!
Once you are back to work, you'll knock out that debt in no time. Remember, make a very strict budget for yourselves once you are totally *out* of debt....that's how you become a great saver and investor. And build up a decent emergency fund before you start aggressively saving for retirement/college so that you never have to worry again if there's an illness or big car trouble. And remember, a trip to WDW is *not* an emergency, despite what you might read around these boards .
Keep up the good work!
