Have to pat myself on the back, we're working the DR plan
and this month (Sept) we have paid off $1093.xx EXTRA down on our debts! Had to share, really motivated and excited...We can't do it -every- month like this, hubby works full time and is self employed part time, I am self employed part time and help do deliveries for hubby along with taking care of our little ones- some months are better than others, but man, does it feel good to make visible progress. Dropped off $700 at the credit union towards principle on our one remaining car loan, realized that was over 10% of what we had left to pay!
We can't pull a # like that every month, but we're getting our 'gazelle' back on, and hope to have the car loan, and my cc, paid off by March, which is about $8700 and possible if we stay focused and keep telling our money where to go!
May:
Coupon/drug store rewards:$15

YTD totals:
Coupons/drug store rewards: $759.04
$ spent getting coupons:$92.70
2011 total savings:$2068.18 2010:$1066.58

Living debt free except the mortgage and working on that !!!

Rejoice in the way things are,

You keep at it!! We just finished and it is so much more relaxing around here. We took a month off once we were debt free and went to restaurants and fairs (w/ cash) after 5 years of denials.
Now we are starting saving accumulation and double payments on the second mortgage. We have a future and you will too!!
