    Default Making a dent in my debt!

    I finally am making a dent in my debt that I can actually see. I have all my accounts set up online so I can pay whatever I have "extra" each day/week to pay these down. However this past week I paid $395 towards my central air and then another $1500 sent towards it this morning! So at least I can see some progress.

    The "plan" is to pay the last $500 of central air and the $2000 empire and $668 credit card by September 19th! Hope to stay on track!

    I have to say checking in here and keeping on top of my debt has really helped these last few months! Thanks everyone!

    It took me a while to get to the point where any extra money at the end of paydays would go toward debt. I rarely have money in my accounts but my credit cards are almost empty and my bills are paid up to date. I have been tracking and paying down debt this summer only.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words!
