Trying to stay motivated while treading water!

February 4th, 2011 at 11:25 am

So for anyone who doesn't read me regularly I am on part-time maternity leave til hopefully June. Because of that, our crazy debt snowball is on hold until I'm back at work full-time.

But here's the latest numbers I found that were inspiring so I need to post them so we stay motivated!!

Est. debt at it's worst (2007??): 305,100
Total Debt June '08: 298,510
Total Debt June '09: 288,930
Total Debt June '10: 281,835
Current Total Debt: 274,770

There was lots of car mishaps and refinancing (yes, we rolled the costs in the loan which isn't ideal..) thrown in there, but we consistently have paid down each year and it feels so good to be moving in the right direction.

Even with not putting anything additional to debt, 1k automatically goes on principal between both our mortgages each month so that helps while we're currently just treading water otherwise!

Ok! Time for work. 7-12 then I see my baby! Smile

    The movement will lead you toward what you want, and I'm really impressed with your efforts. It is not a quick fix, but you are still doing the things that will offer you some insurance that you can get there, and that is the main thing. Hang in there, and enjoy that baby! We have a little one in the house, as well, and it changes everything... Smile Jerry
