    Default Chopping down the big debt.....

    Like my previous post said recently I sent our last c.c $5,200. We are in the process of refinancing our mortgage. The bank that has our mortgage wants to raise it $140 a month as of April 1. So we called Chase who had our mortgage when we lived in Georgia and they are refinancing us at $50 less a month then we are paying now so technically thats a savings of $190. Anyway, so this month I am taking what I usually send to the mortgage and adding it to our normal payment to the c.c.. It will be $1,700 and send it to the c.c Then in May when we get the "Stimulus check" which will be $1,200 or so we will send that to the c.c. So in 3 months time we will have been able to send the c.c $8,200. Almost done!!!!
