I would have suggested keeping the guns, and trying to get some side work in the evenings or weekends to make up that $2000. The extra work can be fun when you are on a mission. It really doesn't matter though, because when you are debt free, you can buy the guns back (replace) if you want to. Congratulations on your journey. Many people in my area are using the Facebook groups and classified adds on Facebook to ask for side jobs like lawn mowing, firewood stacking, help moving etc. There are tons of people that will pay decent money for someone to help them move, or to plow the snow off their driveway. You can move the needle a lot quicker with a additional income!
