DEBT, Debt, debt...debt free

What stage are you in? DEBT!       - I need help. Multiple sources. More debt than paycheck Debt!         -   student loans? oh I have to pay those. New car? debt           -  Only the mortgage. Nothing crazy.  debt free   -  FREEDOM! I love helping people get out of debt and make smart financial decisions.  I've been listening to Dave Ramsey while working and have been inspired by those sharing their debt story and want to share our story. The Stanton Debt Story. Me: College Debt:  $17,000 with interest. First Salary out of college:  $28,000. Annual bonus maybe $2k.  Part-time job: $5000 Debt paid off in 1 year!!!!!!!!!!!!!          As a result, saved up and bought 5 year old car in 2009. I started a Roth account while contributing to my 401k at work.  Also, I was able to save up and bought a house with 18% down-paymen...
