I'm pretty sure im gonna be fine. But, that's part of the reason the debt didnt drop as much this month as normal.

You have a long term plan, just as most of us do. Glad to see you took charge of your financial life. When this one's all said and done, the next step is investing...

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

you CAN hold off, but do you HAVE to?

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?

wizardPC · 08-13-2005, 10:41 PM

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"

Teva's are comfy, I just found out about them last summer. It was in a Walmart so I guess that shows it class nowadays.
