Still plodding along.
Today I put another extra $300 on the SL. I can do it again next week and the week after that, then it's paid in full.
Meaning my entire snowball can go to the next bill in January. This is a HUGE relief to see happen.
I am praying hard that I can keep this up, as it's building momentum now, it's been a long arduous journey to get that snowball to a size where it just consumes everything!(as in debt). I want to see it continue growing and destroy all the debt in it's path!
I am debt's worst enemy, I will obliterate it! It shall no longer exist in hte 4 walls of my home soon. I am driving it out, it can kick and scream and fuss. It has no home here. It will be GONE!

Keep going! Don't give up! It'll be that much more vindicating when you get everything taken care of.

I found an undeposited check today from last month in my wallet, not sure how I missed it, so I just put another $200 on the student loan. $400 and this months interest left! Dh has a check tomorrow, I think I have $300 i can use from that, and MIL and Fil owe me $100 for a gift card. So it's almost paid! I'll call them tomorrow to see what the final balance is and send payment!
