Day 687

I just paid $2,000 to my Visa! -- YAY! It's in the $6,000 range now...haven't been there in awhile! It's high $6,000 but ti there, lol

I'm very happy about my decision with my new car. I was in a car accident and have no choice but to buy a new car as I need one for my business. The insurance company gave me about $5,800 and I found a car for $6,500. That will be paid for in cash, no car payments! That means no more added debt - yay!

I opened up a TFSA! I plan to have $5000 in it by the end of this year. Right now I'm just putting in $100 a month. I'll just add the rest in as it comes...after this debt id a bit lower and my wedding season starts

I'm so excited to get this debt gone...just a few more months :) -- and then it's onto savings! I think I'll start a new blog for that.

Total Debt Paid: $55, 084

Day 672

672 days of paying off debt and I'm still not there!

While in Vegas I spent less than $500US in the week on food. It's so expensive there! We got groceries for the hotel room but still had to eat out every day as our room didn't have a fridge. However, it was a great conference, I'm glad I went and I did learn a lot for work.

Yesterday I got my check from my insurance so I have a bit of money for the car shopping. I was given $5,800CA. The car I am going to buy is $17,000. It's a Honda, they hold their value and I'm hoping it will last me abut 5yrs *fingers crossed* I was looking for a car around the $5,800 range but I had to look at cars in the 2004 or older and I worry about how long something like that would last.

I've been taking on more work and should be able to increase my income by $2000 a month. Nice right?!! It will all go to credit, taxes and the money I borrow for the car. Taxes are killing me! Ugh!!!

I just put $150 on my Visa -- still owing $8,889.14

Total Debt Paid: $53, 084
