Extra money coming!
I got an unexpected promotion and raise at work last week! It's an additional $2300 per year. It's not Rockerfeller but it is about $190 per month more towards debt. Yea! Also, my company does a success sharing and sometime in February I am expecting 5% of my salary as a bonus. Every penny of it towards my debt!
I guess there is a light at the end of this dark debt tunnel! I still have not used my credit cards in many months and got through Christmas on cash only for gifts and Christmas eve dinner for 20 people!
Thanks for all the great tips for that one!
