paid over the minimum! Yay!

Hi everyone! I have been a lurker on here more than anything, I think I have only posted once or twice on this board but I read the messages all the time. I have just started my journey to reduce my debt and today I made my first payment that was substantially over the minimum. I decided to go with the card with the highest interest rate and I paid 50 dollars above the minimum payment this month. Yay! I'm pretty happy. I will be paying just the minimum or a few dollars over the minimum on my other debts until this one gets squared away. I only owe about 350 dollars on this card so it shouldn't take too long! Then I move on to the big cc with the 3500 balance, and then to student loans! Yay! I feel like I've made the first step. All this month I've been trying to save a little money here and there, so I am very excited to be able to do this. Yesterday I successfully bought groceries for 3 of us only 60 dollars! I was able to get a lot of stuff anyway and it should last about a week or so. Yay!

Congratulations on your first step toward debt reduction, you are on your way to becoming debt free!! Feels good, doesn't it? Check out the snowflaking board, it's a great motivator! Hope to hear of more successes for you! :)

deciding to be happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, but that you had decided to look beyond the imp
Way to go! You get a gold star for all your awesome work!
I think once you get that snowball rolling, you'll find it picks up speed amazingly fast!
Good job-
