November Wrap-Up & December Goals
- Posted by JvW on December 3rd, 2009 filed in Debt
It’s been a little while since I posted a monthly report on our debt payoff, but I really like looking back at my progress and making a note of it. It’s very easy to be overwhelmed by what’s left to pay off and forget how far we’ve come.
As of October, we’re down to only 3 debts! Three! When we started this journey, there were 14. The ones remaining are the big ones ($90K student loan, anyone?), but we’re thisclose to being halfway done with our debt payoff!
Starting (Non-Mortgage) Debt: $216,564.70
Current (Non-Mortgage) Debt: $119,897.25 (down from $123,983.48 at the end of October)
Percentage Paid Off: 44.64% (up from 42.77%)
I’m really pleased with our progress and excited for December. Our goals for the next month are pretty simple:
- Don’t accumulate any debt or exceed our Christmas Budget.
- Achieve 50% payoff on Car Loan #2.
Straight, to the point, a little ambitious, but hopefully we can reach them both!
