Hopefully you have it in a 0% somewhere. But your diligence is admirable to paying down your debt. I'm trying my best to avoid it at all cost. Best of luck.

Very, very close! And you're approaching the halfway mark on your original debt... That's gotta be exciting! :) I, too, know how you feel about high expense months. I'm not looking forward to my bills... I have some ugly big ticket items coming due, but I had to pay for them. What are you gonna do? It happens. After paying off the big bills I should be able to start saving again. You will, too :) Well, you’re close! Very, very close!

We pay our auto insurance all at once every six months, so those months always feel lean since we can't make as large as usual deposits into our emergency fund. Good job on the garage sale. What about getting a very part-time job to put you over the edge, or babysitting a couple days a week? Anything to get a few extra dollars to pay that sucker down!

But on those days take a look back at where you started - you're almost half way through your debt! You'll start making more headway soon - don't let the days of no motion get you down.

That's $37 that needs to come out of each paycheck (assuming you are paid bimonthly). I've used this strategy and it is marvelous. I take all our bills that come up yearly, quarterly, whatever, divide them by the number of paychecks I get in a year, and "pay" it each pay period into a savings account. When those bills do come up we can just pay them without affecting our regular monthly budget. Plus you earn interest on your bills until they are paid.

Some months you face greater obstacles than others ... that's the time to really dig in your heels and resolve to at least maintain what you've worked so hard to achieve. Keep the blinders on and I'll bet you see your debt down close to $15K before the end of the year. :-) All your hard work *is* paying off.
