Another card bites the dust!

October 1st, 2008 at 10:47 am

Today was the final day for Card 3 to have a balance. We paid off the $1970.14 I owed on that card and now we only have two debts left! Here's the update:

Debt tracker 10/01/08
Card 1: $42694.47 (8.99%)
Card 2: $28963.19 (8.99%)

So that's it! In the last five months we've been able to pay off just under $39,000 worth of credit card debt. This one card went from $26412.89 to ZERO in that time. The mountain has gotten smaller!

The two that are left are a couple of monsters but they will soon be gone and then we can actually start keeping our money instead of giving it to the credit card companies (novel concept isn't it...!)

Thanks to everyone here for keeping us on the straight and narrow!

    thrift: Income has been on average around $13,000/month net so we've been able to put a good chunk of the income towards paying down our debt. We have a lot coming in and this time we're putting it to good use. Smile

    Nice work. Keep the focus and don't forget to budget for the holidays, even if it means slowing down debt repayment.

    Don't want to enter 2009 with more debt.

    merch you got that right! We have two more $3334 checks coming over the next two months in addition to paychecks and the one in late November will get a chunk set aside for the holidays. We got this thing under wraps so far but it's a long road to hoe.
