get out of debt

digging this hole deeper and deeper. Think this will get the biggest dent when Matt goes on deployment next year. Gonna live on soup and pay everything down, and pay some of it off.

But totaled. =[ A lady hit me head on the same week it was paid off, so now I have to go buy a new one and add even more debt than I had. At least we have a decent down payment for it so we won’t have to finance the entire amount.

and put another $200 towards my card last night! Rock on! With the rate we’re moving I’m hoping to have Matt’s card and my car paid off by summer. My card will still have a balance since I’ll be starting school again soon. Hmm… It’s alright though. We’re moving along good with this goal.

Paid $50 extra towards my card today and $75 towards Matt’s! Yeah, I’m so happy I can actually see a difference now. LOL

Paid an extra $575 towards my car since that’s one debt that won’t come back, plus the $200 scheduled payment for this month, totaling $775 towards that debt. YEAH!!! Progress is being made.
Matt’s Car – $28,285.83
My Car – $2,591.42
Matt’s Card – $634.17
My Card – $3,248.91
Total = 34,760.33 – Matt’s car since that’s not a focal point right now and we’re looking at $6,474.50! AWESOME!!!

on paying off the debt.

Not really counting Matt’s car right now. More focused on the smaller amounts so what we’re working on is $7092.43. I get my birthday bonus next week which is $100 that I’ll put towards my card I think. Then MAYBE a Christmas bonus that will go half towards my card and half towards my car. And when tax time rolls around all that’s going to getting out of debt too. :-) I have a plan. LOL

I took Matt’s credit card and hid it. I feel bad about it and I know it defeats the whole “him being the husband” role but we honestly cant afford to put anything else on the dang thing right now. Especially when my job is in limbo. The real estate market is crap in Va. Beach and I’m not sure it will pck up in time to avoid layoffs. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Which means more goes to savings than to getting out of debt. Gotta have that safety net.

$100 towards Matt’s card. Slowing down a little, but it’ll pick back up in a couple weeks. Gotta get it gone.

off from school and no GI Bill money, it’ll be good to get this next check. I really want to get some shit paid down. Maybe I’ll work on getting the car paid off since I want to sell it and get a new one. Who knows…

battle with my husband and that damn credit card. Paid $100 today but he put $75 on it this weekend so I guess that only makes $25, we’re never gonna get it paid off at this rate. UGH!
