Day 486

How possible is it to be debt free?!?

Since I’ve started this I’ve paid off a lot of debt. Of course I’ve lost focus here and there and could have done better but I’ve also gained more debt…like $6100 in braces for my son, over $4000 in taxes, new equipment for the business

So the break down now:

$1200 taxes

$1200 to the car

$3,600 to my mom

I’ve paid off some Visa but I’m not even going to count it as I’ve about put the money back on. So, I’ll start adding the Visa to debt payment once I really start paying it off

My goal to be debt free by my 30^th birthday did not happen

Soooooo, the new goal is to be debt free by June 2010

By June 2010 it will be 2yrs since I’ve started this

I need to get back into my whole idea of Donald Trumps “Set goals and stay disciplined” if this is ever going to work well for me.

I make a great income for being single. I should have a lot more that what I do.

I’ll be back with new goals tomorrow

Day 386

Still slow going...what a difference losing focus makes -- obviously!

I've been putting money into the business like crazy. I have a boyfriend who is military who I hardly see so dating isn't costing me a thing. Right now I have over $4000 sitting in the bank waiting for me to put it somewhere...I'm thinking I'll pay off the car and I'm owed a few thousand dollars as well.

I think I have something like $17,000 to go. It will be more when we figure out how much I owe in taxes :(

Day 333

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted! Ugh, and I haven't been focused.

Since my last post I have only paid $1000 to debt 

In the meantime I have added the cost of my sons new braces to my debt and over $3000 in taxes from last year

I have just less than $20,000 to pay by Nov *fingers crossed*

I need some new goals to get me there

Total Debt Paid: $34, 534

Day 275

I paid an amount of $500 to an owing debt today....some more of the cash I owed my mother. 

I'm going to try and pay off the rest of my debt in the next 3 months...or 92 days. I'm guessing it's about $15, 000 or so which works out to about $1250 a week! Yikes!!! I'll try anyway. It would be nice to have a $50, 000 debt paid in 15 months so that's what I'm going for. Wish me luck! *fingers crossed*

Day 265

I just made a payment to the Visa :)

Total Debt Paid $33, 034

Day 258

Ugh, I have no idea why I haven't been in here: busy, not making the time for it...I could come up with a few reasons. Mostly I think because I was in such a slow time for work that I didn't have the extra cash to put onto debt that I found it a bit depressing. 

Now that my business is picking up again and the income is now double what it was over Jan-April I hope to get back on track and finish paying off this debt this year. 

I need to get back on track and follow the whole 'set goals and stay disciplined'. I need new goals for each month as the goal along the whole way has been to be debt free by age 30 which is now just 5 months away! -- YIKES!!!
