What is the Debt Free For Life Plan
The main strategy to become Debt Free For Life is the DOLP plan. The Done on the Last Payment Plan is a strategy that ranks our credit cards by balance owing, interest rate, and minimum payment. After calculating the DOLP ranking of each credit card we can determine their payment priority. Debt Free For Life starts with being honest about our current financial situation and ends in financial freedom.

The biggest purchase I ever made on a credit card was a new TV and Home theatre….and it was a Future Shop card at 29.9% interest!!!!! I paid off the first $1100 right away, as thats what we had saved up, and then it took me just over a year to pay off the remaining $600. Yikes! I paid quite a bit of interest that year….
Hi there,
Very good post, I am very much interest in buying the book. Thanks a lot for a good advice.
This book sounds interesting! Great post. It sounds like a great read…I may have to pick it up.
The biggest purchase I ever made on a credit card was a balance transfer to finish my basement. It was a balance transfer for 0% for 15 months. I took all the amount they would give me $15,000. I paid it back within the 15 months. It “bought” me the use of my basement for an extra 15 months.
Christmas…need I say more? My husband and I did that once out of desperation but we both have fairly large “immediate” families and came to understand the true meaning of desperation when it took years to pay off that one Christmas. Never again.
The biggest purchase we made was taking Walt Disney World vacation, ALL on credit!!!! And it wasn’t just WDW, we also went to Sea World & Universal Studios. This was approx 8 years ago, and we are STILL paying on it today!!!!!! The “goal” was to quickly pay it off, but I fell down w chronic back problems & ended up having major back surgery & leaving the work field in 2008.
Furniture for our living room. 0% interest on 6K for 9 months. We took every bit of 9 months to pay it off but we did it before the interest charges kicked in.
Hmm I’d have to say anytime I go on vacation. I end up usually charging my vacation costs and my boyfriend because of the cashback. So far about 1,300 but I pay it off every month.
A cruise to Grand Cayman which was about $1300 for two of us. I’m pretty sure I am still paying it off as it was one of the last credit card purchases I made before I stopped using them.
Awesome question! Well, on a true credit card, that would be my crazy Siamese cat, who cost about $400. I did not know he was crazy at the time, and I paid that off in a month. If debit cards count, then that would be the vacation we just took, and that was $1,550. With it being debit, we already had the money on the card.
I got sucked into agreeing to a flippin’ $700 camera to be added to my order. They went through the spiel so fast, it didn’t register with me. They taped my ‘yes’ & played it back to me when I called back to cancel & return the stupid camera.
Suffice it to say that I am VERY wary of speaking to sales people now.
The biggest purchase I ever made on a credit card was my honeymoon. It was about $1500. It ended up taking my husband and me about 10 years to completely pay it off because, like idiots, we kept charging other purchases on the card plus we had other credit cards to pay off as well as car loans, student loans, etc., etc.
Furniture for my first apartment at $800. It took me 2 years to pay it off.
