    Hey, all.

    I was doing the fun (task) of going over our budget. I use Quicken..pretty handy...anyhoo....I was appalled by how high I have allowed the credit card balances to get...eeek. So I wanted to figure out how much I need to pay to get them paid off. So then, I figured, might as well throw in my student loan as well.

    anyhoo this is the calculator that I used to figured things out:

    I have been to the money site many times, but somehow missed this calc. Using it, I was able to get some hope, hahah....figured out a doable amount that will get us debt free from cards and the student loan in about 5 years. (well, as long as I don't actually USE any of the credit cards...but still, it is possible).

    Anyhoo...hopefully you can get some use out of it as well.

    My wife uses Quiken for her finances...I use QuickBooks. Those guys at Intuit put out some really great tools.

    Thanks for the link. We don't have high credit balances, but any tool that can help me keep finances under control is a great thing.
