    Default Here we go...

    I've got my budget written out and snowball spreadsheet ready to go. And I just made my first big payment on my first CC goal today.

    $400 gone, long way to go, but slow and steady wins the race.

    I just figured out a new plan with snowballing today. Took me a while but I got it done...
    We will have all but one credit card paid by Xmas and that one will be paid by May. I was paying a little extra too each one (like $25 when minimum was $10) each month... So by using the normal total amount that we usually pay each month and paying highest interest first they will be paid quickly. Luckily the highest interest ones are also the ones we have the lowest balances on, so seeing each one paid off will be great!!
    We'll just have my school loan (which is in deferment right now - 2.5% apr) and our car loan to work on after XMas.
