Here are the numbers!

First, I just have to say I'm so excited that new friends posted comments on my blog! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!


Tonight's entry is going to be quick as I am preparing for a job interview tomorrow, but I just have to post my numbers. This weekend I'm going to set up my blogroll. I just wanted you all to know that I am grateful for your input.


So here are the figures.


# of days non credit card use: 87
amount owed: $28,354
amount paid: $1,982
financial freedom: $550.04

I reduced my debt by paying $1,650 on my car loan. I got that money from the sale of my Longaberger baskets. Actually, I gave them away. If you know Longaberger I sold them way, way, way below market value. But I'm happy they all have good homes now. And by selling them I was able to make the equivalent of 5 car payments so that on October 23 my car loan will be paid off 6 months early! The other reductions were my credit card payments. I make payments of $250 to each card each month and then they charge me about $80 in interest. When I see it on paper it makes my stomach hurt. I've applied for a AT&T 0%interest on balance transfer credit card to ease my pain, we'll see if I get approved.

My savngs acount I call financial freedom, and it is an ING account. I consider this account my emergency fund account. I put $25 every two weeks in it. That's almost $2 a day. I want to increase it, but I want to decrease the debt first.

Well, that's it. My first official money post.

Can someone explain to me how I put codes into my Html?
