End of month ramblings

September 27th, 2012 at 03:49 pm

Tomorrow is the final work day of the month, so it's pay day. October also marks the anniversary of my family's becoming serious about turning finances around. This October will mark two years. Two years ago, we had about 24K in unsecured credit card debt. Now, we have about 5K. Paradoxically, it's much harder to allocate the same amount of money to debt reduction, because we had no choice two years ago. Our minimum monthly required on CC debt was about $750 two years ago, and now it's $250.

So, we keep plugging along, with the goal of having all credit card debt retired in May, 2013.

One of my CCs will also be retired after the October payment clears! At its height, it was a $9,770 debt. I might buy a 20 oz. Mountain Dew to celebrate.
