I found out about your debt free charts from the Dave Ramsey show. I came across a Dave Ramsey clip of a couple that just paid off over $100,000 in debt. They spoke about their journey towards financial freedom and the husband mentioned that his wife used a worksheet called “debtris”. She’d color in the blocks when they paid extra towards their debt. The show actually showed the worksheet with all the blocks colored in. I paused the video and took a screen grab. From there, I was able to find your site and was then able to download debtris and a few other worksheets for my other debts (credit card, student loan, and for one each consumer debt). Let’s say I got hooked on your worksheets. I tried creating worksheets on my own without much success, but these were the worksheets I absolutely needed. I like the visuals and being able to color in the blocks as I pay extra towards my debt. They help keep me on track and motivated. I do plan on framing the debris worksheet once I pay off all my debt ($75,000). I want it to be a reminder of what I overcame and won’t ever get myself into again.
These charts are an amazing way to see the progress of debt payments or saving up for something. Thanks for making these available to us.
Heard about these from the YouTube channel Ellie on Earth and went right over to get them myself. Very happy with these! They make saving and paying down debt fun to do every payday. Highly recommend!!
Super motivating and exciting way to visually keep track of the debts being paid off. Not even just debt, we have ones for different savings goals. We colour in the progress once a month. It's been really helpful turning this into more of a enjoyable experience.
Love using these charts. It help me visualize where I am on my journey and how far is left to go. Thank you so very much !
I've used these before for previous credit cards and the satisfaction of coloring in the boxes and seeing the progress is so essential in my debt free journey. I love that they're so easy to divide the total and figure out how much each square should be and they're such fun designs too. Plus it's a great way to open conversation about getting out of debt when people see our trackers. And once they're full they feel like a trophy to remember how far we've come.
I really enjoy using it because I’m a visual person and just seeing my progress helps motivate me.
I love these trackers! They really keep me honest and motivated! I look forward to coloring in my sections each month. I have even shared the site with friends and family so they can also see the benefits of visual tracking!! So much fun.
After getting all frustrated about how long and tedious the process of getting rid of all our debts was, I found your charts and when I started coloring them I suddenly realized that the process was not as stagnant as I supposed it was and it gave me a fresh perspective and some hope of actually achieving my goals! Thank you!
Such a great way to keep our credit card debt on track and enjoying our kids being able to be part of it too!
