It's another "not much to post" day. Last week we paid another $131 to the card which brings the balance down to $11,042. As soon as the babysitting money is posted to our checking account, we'll pay another $180. With that money and the addition of the monthly finance charge, our total will be just under $11,000. Woo hoo!
I never could have gotten the balance down without DH. He's so awesome. I'm still trying to move past the guilt and he's never said one mean word to me. He's just the best. Every once in a while I indulge in a little 'we're-so-much-better-off-now' daydream. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about the stress of not being totally honest with him and it makes me SO glad that we are working together. Personally, I think that's the only way to go when dealing with finances as a married couple.
Anyway...life is certainly busy and we are in the trenches, as they say, with this last credit card. It will be a number of months before we pay it off so we'll just be trudging along, making payments, and hopefully still celebrating every milestone of that balance. The next one is having the balance under $9,000. In May we'll be able to pay a big chunk because of the 'extra check' phenom. I'm looking forward to that boost!!
