Money update
I haven't done so well lately with paying the cards down. Or rather, I paid them down, but then spent them up again (mostly on travel-related items).
Here's the deal now (I started confusing myself using numbers to refer to the credit cards, so now I'm using letters):
Credit Card Ab - 2204.67
Credit Card Me - 4225.94
Credit Card Di - 240.54
Credit Card Am - 1964.07
Total: $8635.22
Yes, that's $96.88 less than my total of $8732.10 as of January 4 - but that was four months ago - so it should be MUCH less (like $3000 less). But oh well. Going to pay off Card Di again this week, then Credit Card Am is the next victim.
I decided to leave my tax refund in my emergency fund - I've used tax refunds to pay off credit cards before, and strangely, they just didn't stay paid off. So I'm trying a different way this year.
Oh, and since we joined our church two weeks ago I've started tithing. 10% a week. Not easy psychologically, but I am interested to see how it works out.
