2 more debts paid off ! whoo hoo!
Today I went to the bank and made a check out to pay off my auto loan ( a year early) AND then just issued a payment to pay off the blasted credit card bill! Over $6,000 in debt knocked out!
That just leaves the mortgage! And I am determined to keep it that way!
As I posted previously, I was recently laid off from my high paying job. I was able to find another job a couple of months ago, making less then 1/2 of my former salary but....it's a job and it pays the bills ( almost!)
I did get a severance package and am saving some of that $$ and then using some $ to get rid of my stupid debt. And I consider my credit card debt to be stupid!
What a nice feeling. Thanks to this place, and being more disciplined, for the past year I have been able to use the credit card responsibly, for convenience mainly, and pay it off weekly.
I am now concerned about the price of heating oil and gas eating up my savings, but that is for another thread!!

Way To Go!!
If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
