getting rid of debt one dollar at a time

I am writing because I feel like we are being given a new beginning.  In the past few months we have downsized.  We have gotten rid of the home phone and reduced our bill from $108 to $29 (internet).  We reduced our cell phones from a company plan to just my husband and i and are saving around $200 from that.  We sold my van and bought two used suburbans and then got rid of his truck which has saved us $408 plus about $20 a month in insurance.  We got our mortgage reduced and it is $1000 less and at 2%.  It will cap off at 5%.  It has been a long hard road for us but things are looking really good.  Too top that off my husband got a really good subcontracting job that will last indefinitely which gives me great security because since the problems with the economy began his business has been so uncertain. I just feel so thankful.
