Well the extra work paid off. I have put the bulk of it in the emergency fund. I sent the first payment in on my DW's credit card debt. I now have a six month emergency fund and all of my cards paid off. I hope my health holds out as I am getting very tired. I have set the payments for 24 months. I'll put extra on it when I get more extra work!
I built the emergency fund for my peace of mind. Now when something comes up my budget won't be screwed up.
I know everyone says pay off all your debt first but I get sick if no money is saved.
Payments of 712.00 for 24 months + whatever extra I can get my hands on. That wil pay off DW's CC debt.
I am going to treat myself when everything is paid off. I'll save for it though!
Getting things in order.

My dh is kind of like your wife. He wants to enjoy life now, even if it means debt. In his mind, everyone is in debt and will always be in debt, so why fight it.
