Today we were able to pay another $177 to the LOC.....WOO HOO! We'll be able to pay off the remaining $419 next Thursday and then that loan will be gone. What a relief! We are knocking down this debt faster than I thought...yea for us!
DH is nice enough to let me make all the payments. Maybe he really doesn't care about doing it which is just fine with me....I enjoy it. I'm a nerd that way, though! Just ask my girlfriend across the street. She gave me an awesome pencil sharpener for Christmas...it was one of my favorite gifts! (After, of course, the Tiffany jewelry and perfume and sweater). I told you I am a nerd!
Anyway - it just makes me happy to see these debt balances go down instead of up. After all this is said and done, we can watch our savings balances go up instead of nowhere. Now that's the way it's supposed to be!
So I'd say the keys to our progress so far has been honesty with each other about where our joint money is going and the envelope budgeting. I feel like we've come a long way in 6 weeks and I'm excited about our financial future. Now if I can just talk DH into that water softener....
