    Thumbs up Making headway :)

    Just a quick update (honestly it's more for me than you guys...lol) though I haven't stayed quite on the budget I had set out this summer, I am definitely making headway.

    Many of our immediate debts are paid off including 1 overdraft, a medical bill, sears card, and several overdue utilities bills.

    I have also managed to put 300 into my 1000 EF and I have counted over $22 in my change jar.

    I'm really happy so far, but there is still a substantial property tax bill looming that must be paid by October.

    BUT, I'm making headway and for that I'm thrilled. One step at a time, eh?

    Thanks to everyone at FV. This place has helped me a lot!

    every step in the right direction is a weight off your shoulders..

    before you know it, you will be carrying nothing.

    good work.

    Story of my life. In 2007 we had 78000 worth of debt, and we climbed out under it, on top of paying for a surgery with cash, bought a house, had a foundation shift and $11000 in repairs later we are good to go.. then I hear the words "I'm pregnant!"

    Congratulations. You are putting some money aside each pay period for that October tax bill, right?
