Debt Reduction Milestone
| I'm feeling a lot closer to normal now, but being out of commission so much last week left me with a lot of catching up to do, both online and in 3-D. Mostly in 3-D, actually, which means that the blogs will probably remain relatively quiet for another week. But I'm taking a break long enough to post a quick update on my debt reduction progress. With my most recent payments I managed to knock my largest credit card--which carries the bulk of our consumer debt--to under $4,500. It's now hovering just above $4,400, in fact. I want to challenge myself to knock out that $400 and get it under $4,000 by the end of the year, but I'm going to need to do some thinking about ways to make that happen. I'd need to step up my blogging game here, for one, and my schedule doesn't look like it's going to allow that for a little while yet. I know I've got plenty of stuff at home that I could/should be trying to purge, so maybe I can get off my duff and sell some of it on eBay. Even so, with the holidays looming, it will definitely be a challenge. $400 might not sound like much, but for us, that's quite a lot to come up with in just two months. I think it just might be doable, though. And even if it's not, trying will only result in more progress. Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a goal. Labels: credit cards, goals |
