It's hard doing financial stuff when my head is fuzzy; more prone to weird errors! Anyway, I think I looked at some old info when I calculated the UK mortgage balances with the current exchange rate. Here's what I got:
Home/mortgage: $242,008
Education: $38,231
TOTAL HOUSEHOLD DEBT: $280,239
But when I checked the mortgages to record payments today, I realized that they were much lower than the payments could account for. I redid my calculations, and THIS is our actual starting debt number for the year:
Home/mortgage: $241,397
Education: $38,231
TOTAL HOUSEHOLD DEBT: $279,628
So at least the error correction worked out in our favor this time! It's not real progress, but a nice surprise anyway.
Now for the real progress. All our mortgage payments hit:
US: $437 to principal
UK1: $211 to principal
UK2: $45 to principal
UK3: $48 to principal
That means $740 down, $1445 to go on the January debt goal.
EDIT: Also saw that my automatic $50 debit into savings for my medical fund hit, so that's another bit of progress on my big-picture goal. $813.35 down, $1727.65 to go on that one for January.
Another math error; progress on Jan. debt goal; progress on big picture
