well kinda. I paid it off then I had no money so I used it again. But want to pay this bill, plus another 2 by December. It is quite ambitious, but with real dedication and sacrifice, it could be done. It probably won’t be the cards w/ the highest interest, which is the way to go, but it will be 2 cards down. One has 740 and the other 940. Here we go Altonece…here we go! (I have to psych myself out sometimes.)

How I did it: Since my job offers classes, I just had to get the money together to do it. My new gym also offers classes, so I will probably discontinue going at work, and will focus on the classes at the gym...it is already included in the membership fees. Ya know? No need to spend extra money unnecessarily. Read how I did it…
but having a vehicle would make it better. The plan is to get something next year. Preferably early next year. I am seriously considering leasing. The thing is, I need to pay off at least 2 bills to free up the money to afford a car note. Ya know? Step by step.
I am over a thousand dollars. I thought about pulling money out so that I could pay a bill off. In the end, it was too hard. It has taken me over a year to get to this point, and blowing it all in one shot…not so appealing. I tell ya, all of the hard work it takes to get to this point is really my motivating factor. I am not so eager to blow it all away. I am working towards the Suze plan of saving at least 4 to 6 months of expenses. I am not anywhere near completing it, but by George, when I do…whoo hoo! In the meantime, it keeps me focused on the plan and goal.
