Paying it doooowwwnnnn.

We paid another $500 dollars to our next debt. !!!




Weather is finally, finally cooperating with our hiking plans, we haven't and won't be able to hike this week of next week due to work obligations but I have a hope that the week after we can..




I'm still working on the Konmari method, I have kitchen mine and hubby's clothing, Living Room and Dining Room done.




Nothing else happening.

Konmari

I have spoken to the fams and we have decided to try to do the Konmari method.


If you haven't heard of her she is an organizing guru, you go thru your house in categories NOT rooms and pick out things that bring you peace and joy and get rid of the rest. I honestly have already pretty much done this with my clothing now we are going to do it with Hubs and Son's clothing.


I did already do the kitchen..   What a difference that makes!


I did the bathroom!!! And I did the hallway that doesn't have many places to stick stuff  but I got it all done.


Now to convince hubs he doesn't "Need" the boxes the playstation or Xbox came in and we can really, really throw those out....


I have a few days off but we have plans for all day Saturday. I'm going to try to do as much as I can while the hubs sleeps and Son is at school.


Much less whining if it's already gone when they get home and seriously I bet hubs would not even know if I went through his T-Shirts..


I'd love to get rid of 85% of the junk we have in our house and live as minimalistically
as possible. We'll see how that goes with the rest of the household :-)

Last CC

 Our Last Credit Card to be paid off has $12,656.05 on it, We've paid this months payment and $600 Snowball payment so the balance as of right now is.


$11,813.05


 The interest hasn't hit yet but I know it will still be below $12,000 which is what our goal was. We'd like to have this paid off by May of next year and possibly even April or March.


 By May of next year our car total will be less then $10,000 and we will either do something with it or pay it off completely at this point we haven't decided.


 The weather has been wishy washy here since January so we have not been able to go on any hikes since with husby's new job we don't get that many days off together and when we do the weather isn't cooperating.


That's it for now...

They tried to raise my interest rate so guess what.......

I logged on to pay the snowball and found out they were raising our interest rate so I did the next best thing, I moved money from savings and paid that sucker OFF !!!


ONE Credit Card to go .....

Paid More

Just paid another $450.00 to Chase with only $915.71 left on this Credit Card. I seriously have the money in savings and probably will pay this off tomorrow or later today with the savings money. We still have $3,000 in savings because although we follow Dave Ramsey my guts tell me to have more then $1,000 in BEF.

What's been going on at the household

Another $200 to the Chase Card. We have very very high hopes we will get it paid off at the end of April, If it's not we know it will be paid off by May 6th. I prefer to pay it off in April as it will be 2 full months ahead of schedule.


We have a birthday for a family member in April also, so I'm trying to factor that into our spending also.


Our Anniversary was this month and had to factor in money for that also. 


Now we can just hope for better weather then we have had so we can do some free outside stuff from our bucket list. Between snow, sun and rain it's been very hard to plan anything.

Update

So DH did not get the job he applied for and we are okay with that since he already has a job, it was just an upgrade..


We have $1550 left on Chase Card and although I have enough to pay it off in savings, something else came up that will require some money so we are waiting.


We are thinking about savings up and taking a mini vacation before starting our LAST Credit Card payoff. I'd like to do this and go somewhere warm..
