Debt Update: Another $800 bites the dust

Posted by on Jan 8, 2010 | 14 comments

Remember the days when I’d pay a measly $500 towards debt? Those days are no more. I didn’t update this towards the end of December, but I had an extra $300 through income and monetary gifts so I added a total of $1000 last month to finish the year strong. I cannot believe it! I don’t think I ever would have thought it possible this time last year to be this close!

This month I sent $800. I could maybe send more money that I earn, but right now I think I’ll need that for some living expenses this month. My hope is to get this paid off in March with tax refund money.

I cannot believe I’ve paid $12,100! That’s a freak-load of money and I’m so excited to soon add these dollars towards my savings.

Two more payments until I’m debt free!!!!

    Great Job!!!!!!!!!! Just imagine what it will feel like when that is off of your shoulders. More young people need to be doing what you are doing NOW, so they won’t be in dire straits when they get older. If you keep this up, you will be so much better off for it and can actually retire when you want to. So many people of retirement age now , can’t simply because we did not plan accordingly when we were younger.
