Just started DR FPU class and was looking for some forum support but I see the TMMO forum is no more, so here I am to try and get some advice through my journey in to getting debt free. The task ahead seems almost impossible at the moment, but hopefully I can find a way through all of this. Looking forward to some advice and support.
Welcome!
We were all hit - very hard - by the loss of the TMMO forums. Many of us were members there for years and years and had thousands of posts there.
Please feel free to settle in and make yourself home here. You'll find we're currently in the process of setting up house, figuring out exactly how we want to run, getting the software nice and moved in, but it's still a refuge for the TMMO Homeless.
May I ask how you ended up finding us?
If you're having trouble logging in or any other tech support issues, or if you have a question about the software, please post them in the Visitor's Corner.
If you need to reach me about something more private, please contact me via private message.
Reaching out to me privately may not result in a quick response. Posting in the Visitor's Corner ensures other staff members will see your post as well and may be able to help you more quickly.
Also, as far as I know, none of the staff here are psychics, so if you are reporting an issue, and want help, then please take the time to be as detailed as possible. The more effort you put into describing the problem, the more we'll put into solving it.
Welcome, airborne! You have found the greatest people on the planet to help you in your journey!

Mortgage paid off Feb 12, 2010 BS 7a - kitchen remodel completed - 2011 BS 7b - my bathroom remodel and max out sinking funds ($13.5K) - 2012 BS 7c - min car repl fund $13K - 2013 My goal was to retire in Jan 2016 at age 58, but instead I retired 10/24/2014
The task always seems impossible when you begin, and the stress of it can seem unbearable. But it is possible to conquer the debt monster and start living a new way. The first couple of months of budgeting will drive you nuts, you may obsess over it, think of it constantly, make mistakes, etc. But stick with it, because it is so worth it!!!
