This paycheck we are taking the slow and steady approach to paying down our debt. The house payment eats up a bunch of the money but we will still be able to pay $144 to debt. Not bad! That puts our total amount paid to the Visa for March at $1178.01! Pretty darn awesome! I'm extremely glad to see that we are so close to being under $12,000. Interest will add another $100 or so, but after our regular payment in the middle of the month, it will definitely be under $12k. Yahoo!!!
I am keeping our goal for paying off the credit card at November, but it looks like we might be done paying for it by October! Woo Hoo!! That will be SO awesome. It's been so great to get rid of all our other loans...this Visa is the big monster and so the it feels like the road ahead is a long one. But I'm sure October will come fast enough...thank heavens! I can't wait.
Anyway - that's about it for now. I haven't read any more books - although this weekend I'll be picking up a copy of Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" from the library. They finally have a copy reserved for me! I'm sure I'm going to love it.
I am going to work on a menu for the next week...I'm going to try to be under budget this week so I can possibly buy some nice brunch foods for Easter morning. I'm not sure it will matter though - DH is taking Boys with him so he can play his saxophone at a friend's church and I'll be going to a meeting at our church. So - I won't even really see my family til 12:30pm on Easter. Hmmm...looks like I might be able to just save the 'nice brunch' money and buy a bunch of Diet Coke instead! Ha Ha.

I'm big-time ... BIG-TIME proud of you, dollface. You're doing great to deep-six your debt like that. You'll make the October deadline because the breaks start falling your way when you have momentum, see? Thanks for spreading the word about Dave Ramsey and debt freedom. Good luck, baby! www.debtective.com
