Ok, so after 4 months of unemployment I am FINALLY back to work! A vacation is not a vacation unless you have a job waiting at the other end.

So, thankfully, I was able to barely make ends meet for those 4 months without throwing thousands of dollars of debt onto my cards. I did have to take my first cash advance on a credit card, which is the equivalent of the cc company having you by the balls!

The good news is that my total bad debt (car and mortgage not included) is only $7607, approx $600 more than it was earlier this summer. I’m going to check back in here twice a month and my goal is to have the debt down to $4000 by the end of October.

Wish me luck. I know I can do it. So can all of you!!

I have been stalled on this goal for a while now. Within a year I paid approx $6500 off my debt. Currently though, I can’t make any progress because I have not had work since April. I managed to pay $1000 off my card with my tax rebate but I have slowly eaten away at that and am back to where I was 2 months ago…about $7000 on my credit card. I’m not giving up. I’m just going to try to make ends meet until I find work. The best thing that I can do is to continue to not use the card and focus on my end goal. I

I think that the last time I wrote was a few months ago and I’ve only paid off a few hundred since then…
New total CC debt is…6802.81
