    Default My savings...I feel better lol!

    We added $5500 to our various savings accounts this month and paid off our furniture and got the camper balance cut by half. I can have that camper payment gone in a few short months if dh is on board with it. He may want to keep hitting savings hard and I can give him that if he feels the need to do it.

    $2500 balance on the camper is my next goal and $500 a month in savings.

    So nice to breathe lol.

    I hear you- with $3200 in the bank (aside from the $1300 savings for our next car) and less than $5k left on our last debt, a business LOC, it feels like the sun just came out! We keep hitting all 3 in dribs and drabs, I know it would go faster to just work on one, but I get antsy if those savings accounts aren't growing, even if only $50 at a time!

    WTG CL!! You just reminded me that I need to check my balance on my automatic savings - love doing it that way!!

    Thanks ya'll! I think sometimes I get so bogged down with debt reduction and penny pinching I forget that savings are important too.

    Savings are very important. That's what keeps you from going into debt again in the future.
