0:06.6 | Question. My wife and I have been working through the baby steps, and we both work remotely from home. |
0:14.2 | But recently, my company provided me with a company vehicle that I used to travel. I do have to go out onto locations. |
0:21.6 | Okay. |
0:22.9 | And then we have two personal vehicles. |
0:26.4 | One of them is paid for. |
0:28.3 | And then the other one is my largest debt left in my snowball. |
0:32.8 | And I just was wondering if it would be wise, since we don't drive as much to get rid of, to sell that vehicle |

1:22.5 | Yeah, why not do that deal? I'm doing that all day. What other debt do you have? |
1:28.9 | We have approximately $2,500 left on a credit card, 3,600 on a student loan, and 14,000 on a personal loan. |
1:38.3 | Okay. So with the 5K, obviously, the credit cards are done, and a good portion of the student |
