Current goal: zero debt by end of 2009.



getting there... 2 weeks ago

so i have paid off 3 of my credit cards so far and am halfway paying off the next. i have 2 more credit cards and i will be able to pay off them within then next 5 months. What i’m doing is paying the minimum payments on all cards, but then putting $150.00 from each paycheck(which is 2 times a month) towards one credit card that has the least amount of money-then paying it off and putting that minimum payment money towards the next one and paying it off. It is working great so far and i’m feeling more free of debt then i have in a long time. It’s just hard to keep your spending to a minimum while doing this.

One step forward, two steps back :( 12 months ago

Well, I finally managed to get the largest portion of my debt (about $6500 worth) refinanced to about 6% APR. So, with the payement schedule I’m on I should clear all of my credit card debt in about four years . . . .

However, I did not factor in when I refinanced that my student loans will start requiring payments in less than a month. Also, I have missed a large amount of work because of illness, eating through my safety savings to pay rent and bills, so now I’m back to living off of credit until my health sorts out. Sometimes I wonder if there’s any end to this . . .



2 down, 1 to go 15 months ago

I took on some extra freelance work this summer; while its meant a bit less time for summer fun, I should have all my credit card debt retired by September.
I just paid off two cards with the check from one freelance job.



I am almost there - about 80% 15 months ago

I should hit this in september. . .
