For the snowball effect I have been doing it manually but today found a great forumla that helps. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I found the calculator from

That's awesome!

I plugged in my numbers, and assuming I was able to start baby step #2 on 9/1/08, paid an extra $90/mo towards debt (above the minimum payments), and didn't have any emergencies, I would be debt free, aside from the house, in exactly 4 years. I would have all but the car and 2nd mortgage paid off in just 2 years, and it would only take me 5 months to have the first credit card paid off.

This is an awesome tool. I need to show it to my wife.

I finally got a chance to sit down and take a look at this tool over the weekend. It's great!

Thanks for posting Eric!

I think that spreadsheet would make a good addition to the Resources page.
