Man, it was really hard after hangin out with frodo to NOT go out and build a kickass carputer. Actually, about 10 minutes ago I was figuring up prices for an mII12000, ampie case, gig o ram, m1atx, and various other peripherals. I was thinking "oh, well, I could go one month without making a huge payment...."

Then I remembered that last month I only paid $500, instead of the $1300 I "normally" pay and this month I could only afford a grand, so I really did kind of take a month off earlier....

word up ... you're kicking that debt's ***!

maybe set yourself a mid range goal ... when you break $15k you can splurge on a pc?

Dude, If I can hold off, you can hold off

Dude, this is awesome. A friend of mine told me about Dave Ramsey about 6 months ago... I've paid off $7,000 car debt (with a little help from insurance) and $1000 on school loans. My total debt now (I'm 23) is $12,000, which is all school loans. I am going to slowly work my way through school, not take any more loans out!

I'm not doing the "gazelle intense" debt snowball, 'cause I am buying my car PC, but I am on a STRICT budget, and I follow it. That has been KEY for me the last 6 months. I will have all my debts paid by the time I graduate from college (2 years) with enough money saved for a nice ring for my GF and a honeymoon (for me!). My GF is doing her part (already making $30k/year) and saving for wedding/house/kids etc.

Anywho, I just wanna encourage you to keep it up, get them debts paid!

so will this number drop $450 now, or won't?

I can only make one payment a month. And I need some new clothes--I was out with some freinds and one of them said "Hey, 1994 called--They want their Teva's back"
