[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just worry about linking Mint to all my financial info...[/quote]

Only link mint to spending accounts. Most likely that means just credit cards. We don't link any bank accounts b/c the only bank payed cost is mortgage and that is easy to figure out.

Changing cars is a non-starter, and honestly if you bought minivan or suv for around $30k I wouldn't stress about it. You will be able to carpool kids eventually which may save on childcare costs, just keep them for 10 years!  If you bought some Mercedes g wagon, then that would be a poor choice.

I am betting your biggest problem is your mortgage: how much was house, down payment; mortgage payment, and percentage of monthly income going to housing

Read 'all your worth' -- like pp said you won't fix this kind of debt by cutting out coffee; all that does is deplete your reservoir of will power and later on you make a more expensive bad choice. You need to make things automatic so you aren't making regular choices but instead the system protects you from spending too much. [/quote]
