Cash for cars. Never buy new.
Knock out the small interest loans first. Get as much put into that car payment as you can, so you can stop burning your money away on interest.

I'm 47 and will be retiring (meaning, only working on things I want to work on, when I want to work on them) in about 18 months. All I can tell you is that you can't get anywhere, financially, without a plan. Find a plan that works to achieve your life goals and stick to it. It's going to suck at times, but will seem normal at some point. My plan was a 15 year plan that I set forth at the age of 35. I'm going beat that plan by a year plus. I had lots of good luck to get there.
I wish you Good Luck and Good Fortune on your journey.

I was given some great advice many years ago. It fits with long term financial planning not necessarily getting out of debt but I thought I would share. When I was about 20 I was asked who the most important person or company was that I owed money to. I didn't own a home at the time but had a car payment so I said the car loan was my most important debt. He looked me in the eye and said, wrong!!!! The most important person you owe money to is yourself. After I thought about it, he was right. I set up an automatic deduction from my paychech every week to go into a savings account I don't touch. It has taken some willpower to leave it alone but after some time I just don't even think about it very often. It has been over 25 years now and it will be a nice chunk of change when I start drawing my pension.

speak of the devil; my wife just called and we've paid off 2 more cards today woo hoo.
just 3 more to go; all on payment plans with 0 interest and they waived the fees. if we pay nothing above and beyond they'll be done around Sept next year. Hopefully we can knock them out early. For those who like to spend and 'pay it later' etc, DON"T. Don't be tempted. Only use a CC that you pay off each month. I was young and dumb; got a great paying job a few years back; didn't have a lot of debt (at least in my mind) compared to salary. bam...layoff. 7 months w/out income; 50% pay reduction when I did find a job. foreclosed. Feels GREAT getting out from all this shit. Lesson learned. Never again.
