pay off my debt

Just about this time last year I took a second line of credit to pay $4000 for the sump pump and basement waterproofing.

Payday is the day after tomorrow, and I will make my final payment on that line of credit – remainder owing: $67.

Whooop!

Invoice from accountant: $241
Car repair bill: $365
Tuition: $2490 _{about $600 more than I expected!}

Eeshk! I still fully expect to pay off my debt by October at the latest, but this month has set me way back. Nuts to that.

I am so close, this is sort of cheating, but when I realized the extent of my debt* (around Apr/May ‘07), it seemed so insurmountable, adding it as a goal to my list would have just been depressing.

Now, however, I am so close to being (consumer) debt-free that having this goal on the list is just a reminder of how far I’ve come and an extra little incentive to stay the course.

I can hardly wait to mark this as done – and NEVER EVER find myself needing such a goal again.
