Financial Summary

I was attempting to write out a multi-post series on the story of our financial journey, but I ran into a problem: it's a very long tale.  It's really only about 6 years of story, but there have been a lot of ups and downs that I think are relevant to where we are now and how we approach all things personal finance.  So instead of putting up the multi-part post right away, I'm going to summarize a bit and end with a question.

Here is where we started just after we were married:

• ~$125,000 in student loans
• ~$35,000 in credit card debt
• A home mortgage in Las Vegas (go ahead, laugh...)
• A 3 month emergency fund
• 2 cars with no car payments
• 2 incomes (with health insurance; one "real" job and I worked retail for another year)

Here are some bad things we've done:

• Slipped up with the budget.  (Repeatedly.)
• Waited months to hire a property management company for our house.
• Paid for very expensive financial classes that were informative, but not immediately useful
• Waited months to adjust our spending after we moved

Here are some good things we've done:

• Adopted 2 dogs and are proactive about their health care
• Paid ahead on our mortgages
• Paid 50% of our student loans in 4 years (20% of the time allotted)
• Paid off some student loans, rather than extra payments to all of them
• Paid off all our credit cards but one (currently our pay-off focus)
• Started retirement accounts
• Increased our emergency fund
• Controlled our expenses
• Increased our income
• Used our spare income to pay off debt
• Negotiated with our credit card and mortgage companies (successfully!)
• Planned ahead for our military move (on 8 weeks notice!  But this alone has paid huge dividends)

Here is where we are today:

• ~$70,000 in student debt (we added ~$9k for me to go back to school)
• ~$8,500 in credit card debt (the plan is for this to be gone by the end of the year)
• A rented out house in Vegas
• A 5 month emergency fund (which could stretch a lot further)
• 1 car with no car payments (and half the insurance payment!)
• 1 income (which roughly equals our 1 income + retail job income from 4 years ago)

So here's my question: what would you like to know more about?  How we cut expenses?  What order we paid off debt?  Where we are now?

Or, since I love swapping advice stories, what have you done in your situation?
