About Me:

ceejay74

I'm the CFO of a three-adult, two-child, two-cat household. There's me (CJ, age 49), my husband (NT, age 50), my wife (AS, age 44), and our kids AA (age 13) and SL (age 11). The cats are named Whiskey and Clue and they're about 12 years old.

Until July 2007 we hadn't been serious about financial stability, but then we started focusing on paying down our massive debt, building an emergency fund and saving for retirement. In October 2010, we finished paying off all of our credit card debt--over $70,000! Adding in student loans and mortgages, we've paid off more than $250,000 of debt so far. In June 2015, we used a windfall to pay off all our remaining non-home-related debt!

Big picture goals:

Buy a rental property in Minneapolis in 2022

8x income by age 65 OR Coast FIRE by 2031 (tracking retirement in two ways at the moment)

Completely debt-free by age 65 (2039)

Two more payments; still not the biggie

August 3rd, 2008 at 05:42 pm

A credit card payment hit: $245 to principal. And AS's student loan payment put $64 to principal. A total of $309 toward the August goal.

So that's $1004 down, $2496 to go on the August goal, and $52,432 to go on my Big-Picture Goal.

My big credit card payment to the UK card hasn't hit yet. Grr... That's OK, it'll still be exciting when it does!
