I have about 4-5 steps that especially apply to those who are in debt or living beyond their means. Should I present those next, or start the purge steps right away? The debt steps are a natural to go along with budgeting, but that means putting purge on hold for a week or so. What do you all think?

I personally would really appreciate the debt steps but I also need the purge. It is all helping. Thank you.

I feel the same in that I need both Debt probably more so. More debt means more interest paid so I would choose that one. I agree its great to have something that makes you stop and think.

OK. I think it makes more sense to do the debt steps first but I may give some hints about the first purge steps too for those who want to get started with that phase.

I'm all for the debt steps. The purge steps sound intriguing, though. Oh, heck . . . I need it all!!

I think if we can get a handle on the debt then purging will come second nature to us. Or should I say not buying? LOL

Yup, I'm voting for debt steps. That's what I'm working on anyway here.
