Lots of payments: nearly hit my goal

June 3rd, 2008 at 04:41 pm

Thank goodness it's been slow at work, because I had many accounts to check. Several payments to debt posted:
US mortgage: $296
UK mortgage #1: $128
UK mortgage #2: $28
UK mortgage #3: $28
Sears card: $950 (paid off dishwasher!)
Credit card: $300
Student loan: $63

Total paid off: $1,793. $1,250 went to credit cards! So that's:
$2,274 down, $526 to go on my June goal.
$54,383 to go on my Big-Picture Goal.

Although my Sears card is a payoff, I'm not adding it to the Old Debt Graveyard because I was just leaving the dishwasher on there while I paid toward other, interest-accruing debts. So it's not really part of my old debt that I'm getting rid of. I'm proud to say that I didn't pay a penny of interest on the card, though! I just put my refrigerator on the same card so I could get free delivery, but I've got a payment set up for later this month, so that definitely won't accrue any interest.

I only have two more payments pending this month, and they should cover the rest of my goal. In fact, one of them should have already hit; I'll have NT check tonight when we get home.

    Your meticulous tracking of your payments inspires me. I know how good it feels to watch debt balances get smaller. And there are so many accounts. you do a great job keeping track of them all and keeping an eye on your goal! Good Job!

    Wow Ceejay. Only the second business day of the month and almost done.

    I think my payments are the opposite of yours. I tend to pay at the end of the month because my big bills are due at the beginning (mortgage and health insurance).

    Yea I missed one of my goals – my wife’s braces. No biggie, because I plan on paying off her braces and Car2 this month, leaving only my son’s medical bills and of course the house.

    Looks like you found your pace. Keep at it and keep the focus. It’s just pure will power now.
