Talking Yippee! I paid off a loan today!
I was so excited to get started on 2003. I just knew it would be the year to help us get our budget on track. We were paying $60 a month for a big screen tv. Well, today that sucker got paid off! The pay off was $12.19. So, I wrote the check out, and do you know what I did with the $47.81 that would have normally went to it? I put it toward a cc. The first time I have ever actually started to snowball debt.

I am just so excited, can you tell?!

I just paid off two debts today and a big chunk of another one. My husband got a bonus and we had some money saved, so we paid off one loan, one small credit card and over half of another cc. It feels great.

Yay!!!! That's great news. Hang in there with that snowball payment. We've paid 3 cars and our house off with that method. It really works!
