Well it has been slow going for most of our debt issues, especially since for awhile now we have been dealing with negative income issues, basically bills and basic living expenses alone are more than our income. But finally this week, thanks to tax refund, and some extra pay we are seeing big improvements!


1. Paying off our high interest second mortgage, which saves a minimum of $185/month.


2. Paying off my account at work, which since October has been taking an average $153.75 per month

That's a great update Angel - what are you concentrating on now that you have all that off your plate ?

I lived a long time robbing Peter to pay Paul myself..barely scraping by - I know what you mean by saying you have the confidence now. It also takes a lot of discipline to put such a large amount of money towards big amounts - so you should be proud of that too. I know many people that would have taken that money and gone on a vacation or bought a new toy of some sort !

Way to go !!
