Debt Elimination Calendar

I love this calendar! I haven't written a budget in quite some time, but I'm going to use this as a template. I got it from a publication from the LDS church called "One For the Money." Take a look, it's a pretty logical and helpful way to crawl out of your debt. The way it works is thus: to the far left are the debts you intend to pay off first (these should be the most pressing debts such as debts with high interest rates). In each column is the amount of money you will pay each month to each bill. After one bill is paid, you take the money you would have used for that expense and pay it toward the second most pressing debt until finally your debt is gone. Good luck!
