I was waiting until I heard about my hospital bill to update you on our debt, but so far I have heard nothing.
I took the advice of my friend Kathy and applied for a grant through the hospital.
I was reluctant to apply but in the end I got all of the paperwork together and filled out the application and handed it to my friend in the billing department and now I am waiting for them to review it.
August was a wash for us financially. What I paid off in debt we spent on our trip to Ireland for our daughter’s wedding. I am fine with that actually. I wash is good in my mind.
September was school taxes so $1500 went to that.
October is looking more promising. I have a plan to pay off our Bank of America credit card which has $2000 on it at the moment. At the end of this month I can let you in on how and if I get it all paid.
Here is how our debt is looking at this point:
Last update our total owed was $32,080.81.
Right now our total is $32,647.05.
That’s a little over $500 increase but like I said between Ireland (which was lovely!) and school taxes I am not surprised.
Back on track for October!
How are you doing with your debt? -MM

I think going to Ireland and essentially keep status quo is a victory. I bet the wedding was amazing. Is the happy couple in Ireland or state side?

Mary Margaret, we used to talk about “good debt” and “bad debt” — things like student loans were good, things like random shopping trips were bad. I think a trip to Ireland for your daughter’s wedding definitely counts as “good debt” — especially since between that and the school tax you barely went up! I don’t comment very often but I’m very impressed with your progress. Keep on!

Thank you so much! Sometimes it feels like it’s one step forward and two steps back but we have accomplished a lot!
