Wow! I can't believe we are halfway through the year already! My year has been one of ups and downs. I am in a better position (albeit just slightly) then I was in January. I have had the balance down to $2300 only to have it rise again. I have justified it every way possible, but ultimately, its my own doing. It took a virtual kick in the butt from this

I'm pretty happy with where we are right now. We even survived June with the $4250 deficit. Yay! LOL.

Since Jan 1, 2009:
- we've paid off $21,439 worth of debt
- of that, $14,285 was flaking!

And we've done that with - or in spite of OR in addition to - bills and expenses that exceed our regular income by about $2,000 a month. Hard not to be happy with THAT!

On January 1, I was a mental and financial mess.

Great thread, Marie!


We have just $40 to go to have our efund back up to $1,000 and that should happen this Friday.


Our total CC debt has reduced by $2k since the beginning of the year.

Fresh is the best and hard works made it all the sweeter.

Great thread...


I was feeling kind of bad when I first thought about this because we are honestly holding about even from the beginning of the year on the credit card front.
