This seems like the most popular and safe way to go with reducing debt. I guess my next question is what shall I do with my pay check assuming I have no mortgage/car payment/debt? Just curious what others would do with the monthly excess.

The reality for me is we lived as if we made half of our combined income was or less really. I had a job change and large pay raise after buying the home. If I did not have any insurance on her or assets to sell I would be totally fine with maybe a slightly harder time to save for retirement which is due to my childs $500 per month private school. That is the only additional expense I took on from her and have been paying it for eight months after she left her job.
