Slowly But Surely

Slowly but surely. That’s how this is going down.
This month I managed to only bring down my debt by $266.19. This is due to my declining income this month and the high interested rate credit cards. I have two of those right now. But I will not for much longer. This week I asked for [...]

My Debt Progress

This month I knocked off $522.34, peanuts, but hey it slow going from here on.
My total debt still hovers over $18,000.00. Wish I could dump more on this debt.
I don’t have much to post about, it’s been a quite month for me as far as keeping my spending down.
But I did learn something new. Did [...]

My Debt Progress

This month I knocked off $1036.28 from all my credit card debt. Since I started this blog I have knocked off a total of $1,860.12 from my total credit card debt. Not bad, considering that I actually used them again.
But, life always gets in the way, doesn’t it?
I am going to try my hardest to [...]

My Debt Down Another $400

I just brought down my debt by another $400.00.
Bad news, though. Looks like my investment money will not be returned to me as fast as I was led to believe. Complications are going to make that take quite a bit longer. In the meantime I will continue my small crawl out of debt.
As I mentioned [...]

I Am Alive

I am back. Hopefully I will stick around longer this time.
I have been on a roller coaster ride.
I have to admit that I am about a thousand dollars more in debt than I was since I started this blog. It could have been worse, except that I was paying over $1,000 a month towards my [...]

Life Gets In The Way

Well, it’s official. I have only paid down $492.50 of my total credit card debt.
Pathetic!
I had a plan that was going to see me put a real big dent on my credit card debt. But… life got in the way.
Life always finds a way to crush the best laid plans. Doesn’t it?
Well, at least my net worth has [...]

Little To Report On My Debt War

I haven’t been posting much because I have a lot going on right now. Also, not much to report on lowering my debt. I have only managed to pay the minimum on my credit cards this month again due to my car problems. At least I am fixing my other car with cash, which was [...]

Car’s Engine Busted

Bad news for me today. It was just one of those days.
First, I went to turn on my LexMark X2500 Scanner/Printer and it would not turn on. I packed it up and took it to WalMart and then after that I went to the post office. I have been noticing a noise with the car [...]

A Second Job?

Get a second job? Euww! Are you kidding me?
What’s the difference between the rich and the poor? Don’t know? Perhaps you should read some personal finance books. I have read quite a few and they expound the same advice—make money work for you.
That’s right, make money work for you instead of the other way around. [...]

Anxious

The investment I will make soon will hurt next month’s repayment schedule, too. It looks like I will not be able to throw the $1,000 I budgeted towards paying down my debt next month either, it will be less, a little over the minimum.
The month of August can’t arrive soon enough for me. I need [...]
