Originally I had a good solid “plan” when I started this journey of paying off our debt. Unfortunately that plan is in need of a change.
The momentum that I started with has changed because I am not working 55+ hours a week anymore. I have decided to adjust and take a different approach to this whole debt thing, which is exactly what we should do if things are not working out, right?
From this point on I am just going to concentrate on one debt or “goal” at a time and do one monthly update at the end of the month. I might update you on things that strike me in between but other than that, it will be a monthly update.
Last update I was paying on that pesky medical bill which was at $2,500 and I am very happy to say that it is now at $992.00! I have paid off about $1500. Two more months and we will be done with it!
I do have some great news to share on the money front! I have been offered a job with the 2020 Census where I will be the Field Operation Supervisor for my county and will be able to do both my regular job and this position. It means back to 55+ hours a week but I hope to get at least 2 to 3 debts paid in full during this period. Very exciting! I start the Census job in a couple of weeks.
We will see where I am at the end of February which even with the extra day makes it a short month.
Until next update…. -MM

You are gaining ground all the time, so good for you! Celebrating with you on the census job. 🙂

Good for you! We are trying to pay off debt also. Taking it one bill at a time. In two years we got a $10000 credit card down to $4000. Still a ways to go but it feels good to see it go down!!! Good luck
