      How long is a piece of string?

      Depends on how much you earn, what are your expenses, and how much you have saved already.

      It’s a however long it takes goal. I’m hoping to have it done in 2, although 3 and change is more realistic.

      Unfortunately, if you can’t afford to live with financial security, you can’t afford to live. I haven’t had an entertainment budget in over a year, and food has basically been what’s on sale at the grocery store and maybe a gyro every month.

        I wish you the best of luck. It isn’t easy. Getting out of debt and having a fully funded emergency fund is a great feeling.
