71% 23 hours ago

I have to remember my original goal on this one since my salary has increased this year. LOL.

If I use my original goal I’m 71% there.

If I use my new salary as a goal I’m 57% there.

Payments 23 hours ago

Wow. It’s amazing how much more money I seem to have now. (Please note the seem. Most of it is still destined for the CC payments.)

Now that I’ve only got two (three on occasion) bills coming in, it seems as if my bank acocunt is much healthier. I can’t wait to pay off another bill. The momentum is picking up for me. If I manage to keep the level of extra payments up from last month, I should be free of the next bill in seven months.

Right now, my task is to call and see if I can get my APR lowered. That would really make my day. If I can get Discover to lower their APR as well, I’ll be overjoyed. (Even though Discover gets paid off monthly via the business account.)

Of course, getting my business partner to pay me back, I’ll be happy too. I’m not holding my breath. I’m also not forgiving the debt. Actions have consequences.
