Life has gotten SUPER busy around here! Lots of stuff going on that I promise to share, but in another post. 
We filed our taxes earlier this week. Tuesday to be exact. Now I am just hovering over my bank account waiting for the money to magically appear.
- Continental Loans *I hate to say it but this is how we paid for Christmas this year, and bought Jesse some much needed rain gear. $408
- Dr Sturges *This is our family Dr. I’ve been making $25 a month payments but I am going to feel SOOO good to have them caught up and paid off! $349
- 2000 Ford Focus *My parents have been WONDERFUL about letting us drive this car but not make payments on it. I did however promise to pay them off with our tax refund. $1950
- Us Bank Credit Card * We are going to send them $200, about 1/2 of what we owe
- Health Savings Account * I am going to open a HSA so we can put money away to help with Jacob’s check ups and everything
- Savings Account *Per Dave Ramsey, we will be starting our emergency fund with $500
Total Amount of Debt Gone $2907.00
Total Amount of Month Payments Gone $127.00
Total debt paid since Jan 2010 $3271.15
So in two months we will have paid off over $3000 and started our emergency fund!! It feels SO good. I love being able to shave some money off of our monthly payments. It makes living just that much easier. On the plus side we are going to have some money left over, so we are going to get Jesse some new glasses, a new dinning room table (Kmart has one for $150 for the whole set, I’m going to look on craigslist first), a new phone (his battery sucks and he scratched the face of his) and maybe dinner out for my birthday. I am already looking forward to my return next year! I love being able to pay things off.
Whatever we don’t spend will go towards Us Bank. Its our goal to see that one gone in a few months!
