I think that people should always have one form of emergency tender in their wallets so putting your card on ice or cutting it up might not be an option.I also used the smallest to the largest approach. It was always great to see things obtain a zero balance and some places will let you know make a payment schedule on the higher items so you can still remove some of the balance.

For me a HUGE motivator was listening to Dave Ramsey on Fridays. That's when the debt-free people call in and tell about their experience. It didn't take long for me to realize I've had it easy compared to some of them so surely I could make it too!Also can't say enough about paying your debts off smallest to largest even if you think the math is wrong. It's not about math when it's personal finance! Good list. For me a HUGE motivator was listening to Dave Ramsey on Fridays. That’s when the debt-free people call in and tell about their experience.
