Long process, but it's happening. Eight months away from being car-debt free, and then I'll attack the other small obligations. If I can ever get those done, I can start throwing a bit more money at the mortgage. Will be cool to see that debt get down to 5 figures.
New investments have been at a standstill recently. Mutual funds and the kids' college savings accounts still are taking on money, but I haven't been dabbling in individual stocks. Maybe once we get our spending under control, I can look to invest in a few companies.
I actually have been investing, but in coins! Silver and individual coins and coin sets have been fun to learn about and collect, and I doubt they will go down in value as they get older. I am a couple coins away from a full Silver Eagle set, and have proof sets as far back as the late '50s. I have been acquiring dozens of other silver coins for nothing more than face value, and also trying to pick up cheap junk silver on the secondary market (ebay, Craigslist). I do go to some coin shops and shows, spending a bit more to complete some coin folder sets.
The only thing I regret about this hobby is that I wish I picked it up sooner. I wonder how many wheat cents, buffalo nickels, and silver coinage has literally slipped through my fingers since I was young! Better late than never I guess.
