Monthly Update
Posted by moonimus on Feb 4, 2008
I can’t express how I felt when the Giants won the Superbowl yesterday! It was great to see them step up and beat the Patriots. I’ve been a Giants fan for a long time and for them to win this when no one expected anything out from them, made the whole thing sweeter. I even wore my Giants jersey into work today!
As you can see from the Debt Scale on the right sidebar, we kind of had a financial hiccup. Most of it was due to timing from when I first started the Debt Scale. Certain charges hadn’t cleared the bank but ended up on the Scale this month. I’m not too worried as most of the credit card debt is on two 0% credit cards (until November and September). We should be paying off all interest bearing debt this month. I’m going to sock away any potential payments for the 0% cards into my One United savings account. I’ll pay then off when they come due. Hopefully, we can also start paying off the personal loans. I actually have the cash to pay back some of it but just need to send it out. I was hoping to pay those off with cash but it looks like I’ll have to use the good ol checkbook.
Also, you’ll notice on the Weight Scale I gained a pound from when I started. This was mostly due to battling a nagging cold for about 5 weeks. I’m back to good health and I predict that I will see some serious progress on this goal this month. The body fat% should follow.
Big expectations this month so it’s time to step it up, just like the Giants!
