Decided to get more detailed with this since it has gained interest from some! For those of you unfamiliar with Dave Ramsey, he has a debt program called the debt snowball, which helps people get out of debt faster. Not to get off topic, but it's fantastic, and has worked wonders for us, both my wife and I had to get a lot of student loans for college, and we'll be debt free within the next year and a half. TOTALLY debt free.
I DIGRESS. The point of this blog is to get GAMING DEBT FREE! Many of us have huge backlogs. We spend thousands of dollars over time collecting games we just cant wait to play! However, most of us end up getting buried by unplayed games, and the more new exciting games that come out, the more neglected our backlogs become. So here is my backlog debt snowball! I am forcing myself to beat every single game in my backlog before moving onto the next gen. I have way too many GREAT games to play to just leave them unplayed. Not only does this save me money by giving me more time for next-gen consoles and games to get price cuts, it also allows me to delve more into the games that I got at a big discount late in the generation.
So here we go! This is a big list to get through across multiple generations of consoles, I'm looking forward to delving into unique experiences, classics, and even the duds to make the rest of them look even better by comparison! :P
