Thank you all for the information and support yesterday. There was a lot of great information and I'm so glad to be here. Although I am still a little overwhelmed by the task ahead.
I am getting a 10% discount on our cell phones through my employer. So that will help a little. I am going to look into other plans too.
Our car insurance is actually $70 cheaper than it was. I just changed to a new company and it was the cheapest I could find for full coverage on 2 newer vehicles.
Still need to look into the Satellite.
I've seen some posts before about no spend days. I am hoping to have a no spend weekend and see if I can organize myself, do a food inventory, and enjoy doing nothing. I'm also hoping to find some things I can sell online or through craigslist. I have to basically come up with $800 asap. $500 to keep my account from going negative and $290 for my ticket that has to be paid by 03/21.
Still a little overwhelmed

That said.....Netflix and Satellite TV need to go. Take the $121.00 and get rid of that "bad loan". Doubling the payment should shave at least a month off that.
Finally, reach out to Amber! She is an amazing inspiration for taking debt head on, pinching every penny and focusing to its elimination.
Again, welcome aboard!

I would also not settle for a 10% discount on the phone. You can, and should do better.
