thanks to my tax refund, I'm finally under the $5,000 debt marker!! I'm so thrilled. The big lump that my tax refund helped me pay off really has me motivated now more than ever!!! What is even better is I'm past the holidays and major birthdays, so there isn't any major furture spending that I can see ahead of me which means, I'm clear to pay the debt off hopefully by June!!! If I'm extremely diligent, I may even have it done by May but we'll see how that goes.

That's so exciting. Crossing my fingers that you will be able to get your debt paid off my May! It feels great to get it done.

Wow, that is great.


Next step is the 3-6 month emergency fund while you increase retirement savings at work and get sinking funds in place - so there is no rest ahead!


Keep it up and know you are creating a great future.

That is such good news. Good for you!

You sound really motivated, however, on this board I have seen the motivation really go down around the 5000 dollar mark. So keep up your great efforts.
