Made my little "visually pleasing" chart
Wed, 11-24-2004 - 4:26pm
to track our debts...the totals are not all that visually pleasing. And while I have written the stuff down several times before, it was always from the least amount owed to the greatest amount owed, so this is new to me. The best thing is that I put it in order of how I would like to see them payed off. Also, I sold me stock today...it is only going to get me $200, but it will help us hopefully break the cycle around the holidays. We do have one very major can't get out of it expense looming over our heads, but beyond that, we *should* be able to start paing the balances down again...new carpet for the place we were previously renting. Me and my dh were just discussing yesterday how we have such bad luck. We really do, and we were laughing over things for an hour. We know plenty of people who had cats that were not declawed that did not claw the carpet to bits in one afternnon (wind blew the bedroom door shut while I was out for an hour) But the biggest thing that is going to help us out over the next couple of years is that we are not going to move! At least for three years this time. This place is enormous compared to where we were before, and even though it is very cluttered yet, it is starting to feel like home. We haven't actually been in a place where we wanted to stay before, so it is nice. Hopefully, we can turn this thing around! Heather
