Having paid off another debt, I am super excited to post this mid-month update. So far for March, we have paid off a whopping $3,315.46. For those of you who might be new readers, Hubs and I set a goal to pay off 18(K) in (20)18. Having now already paid off $8,379.33 for the year, we are well on our way to achieving this goal. While our numbers will most likely slow down, we will continue pushing hard. We want this debt gone! Below are our total numbers.
January 1, 2017 $55,749.69
January 1, 2018 $46,408.30
March 15, 2018 $38,028.97
Here is a breakdown of the total:
CC#1 $2300 (0%)
CC#2 $7000 (0%)
Auto: $7031.40 (1.99%)
CC#3 $9747.57 (5.99%)
CC#4 $11950 (0%)
The goal for the remainder of March is to get CC#1 below $2,000. How much more we can pay off will depend on when our state refund is received and also how much we can squeeze out of our remaining paychecks. I’ll be doing whatever I can to earn as much as possible! I cannot wait to get this CC paid off!
For those of you also fighting the good fight, we can do this…A Dime at a Time!
Your excitement is contagious, and it cheers the rest of us on, thanks!

You are doing absolutely AMAZING!!! You are really spurring me on and making me want to keep up…..your last name isn’t Jones, is it, LOL.
Thank you! I used to be one of the Jones (hence much of our debt) but now I’m trying my best to keep up with the Debt Crushers!
Good work! It looks like you can reach your goal.

Getting our interest rates has made an enormous difference. I occasionally look back to different months from last year and can see how paying that interest hurt our progress. You aren’t far behind and my snowball is going to get smaller in the coming months. I’m just happy with how much we have accomplished thus far.
Way to go, breaking into the 30s. Awesome job. So excited for you!!!
Thank you! Now I’m eager to break into the 20s!
