My goal this year was to pay off my credit card debt. It got up to $2500 and I worked an extra day for a couple months while another employee was out from a surgery and applied that money towards my debt. I also had opened an account for a free $100. I also used part of my large tax refund. I got it down to $900 so things were looking good that I would be able to pay it off.
My husband was out of work for two months and we used our emergency fund to pay some bills. Well our cat got really sick and had to have surgery and I had to put his vet bill on the credit card, but it is worth it to see him back to his old self again. Plus I’m about to put my health insurance on there too since I don’t want to risk going without it this summer.
That means my credit card debt will be back up to $1900. Almost where I started in January. I’m not going to make very large payments for awhile until our emergency fund is back to where it should be either. It’s so depressing.
