Ok ladies. Here's the breakdown and progress, albeit a small amount.


l) DH Kohls (21% interest, around $600)--paid off!


2) Car payment: paid until Oct. '08.


3) Kahuna: Down to $7700.


4) Waiting for statement for the 11% interest loan, then want to pay it off in 2-3 months ($1700) Target: October


Q--how does one change the mantra of "You're so rich" or "YOu can afford this". While folks encourage me on my diet, they do not when it comes to money. For example, there's always the can you get me a soda, water, gum, juice, candy, or whatever?

Hi, I hate it, too, when co-workers have all these showers and parties for ppl and expect you to contribute. Last year, my boss who wasn't my boss at the time, was having a baby shower - she had twins. Well, I had just bought baby shower gifts for 2 ppl - FRIENDS - so I told them I couldn't contribute b/c I'd already spent money on 2 friends.


Sometimes you just gotta tell ppl. I don't even know why they come around to ask ppl for money when you don't even know that person! They should just send an email and say if you'd like to contribute, pls come by so and so's office.


Crazy!


Congrats on paying the Kohl's and car pmt! That is terrific!
