Random Thoughts

DH job is plugging along we don't get his first full paycheck until August the 5th, so I can't plan how much we are sending to credit cards until he gets it, I have noticed some weeks he only works 9 days instead of 10, so I'm not sure whether he will pick up a day or just eat the lost day.  I'm hoping he will get into a routine of 4 on 2 off so I can plan my days off around his, right now it's not a problem since I have vacation right now and again at the end of August.


I have set up quicken again to see if we can figure out how to make all our payments and now go overboard so much. I told DH we spent way too much and shouldn't be having issues with having extra money not being in the bank.


Finally the weather has been nice and we have been outside working on our yard and I can honestly say it's about time and thank goodness since it looks so much better now.

Thoughts

We are continuing to do a dent in our debt. DH has not had a first paycheck from his new job yet and we don't expect one until August 5.


We have done absolutely nothing the entire month of June nor July, as the weather has been cloudy, cold and rainy, and factoring in I've been sick for over 12 days hasn't helped at all. I've been to the doctor twice and hopefully this last round of medicine will help me finally feel better.


I had such high hopes for the summer and doing things but as usual the weather is so uncooperative.

What's happening in our neck of the woods!

So much has happened in the past month. DH got a job after classes were done. This doesn't start until July 13th but we're okay with that.


We have slowly been paying off our first debt and we are over 50% done with this one.


I picked up one extra day at work and although I could do more, I've been trying to stay home more since DH goes to work Full time soon.


I also have a big LONG list of stuff to do around the house and plan on working on that while DH is at work.


Nothing else to add I think so I'll

Nothing Really Happening!

Whelp!! as you can see nothing is really happening here at this time, DH is working on finishing his classes for this semester and will be getting a J O B :-)


I have paid mostly minimum payments to all our debts with the exception of the smallest one that we are trying to pay off, but I have only paid about 20 dollars extra to that one. I look at it this way, "small baby steps, small baby steps."


We still plan to move, although my DS-Y wants us to stay until he gets out of school, although this could and does change on a daily basis.


I want to be CC debt free before we move and we will still need to work on our house to get it ready for sale or rental prior to moving so in all honesty it might take us that long to accomplish all of this.


So, on that note, we will continue to plug along and see how it goes.

Paid Down

We paid down the Discover card another $1000 yesterday and that only leaves us with approx. $1900 left!


As soon as I get the final bills for hubby's ED visit and make sure insurance pays there portion, I'll pay off the Discover card and move on to the next one..


Other then that nothing really going on here right now, the weather has been beautiful the past few days and I sure hope it stays this way for awhile longer..

Slowing Down Abit

   Well we have decided to slow down the rapid debt repayment while hubby is taking some college classes, so far we have paid for them all out of pocket and would like to continue with this if possible.


   We have paid down some more debt and are paying about $15.00 extra to our lowest debt at the moment while saving for other things.
