Before I spill the new numbers, let me just say…
I did a handstand before posting.
My foot is still sidelined from the tendon injury so doing a series of leprechaun kicks was out of the question…
that’s not to say I didn’t try.
I’ve been working nights and, I still can’t figure out how but, my husband managed to pull in some extra work over the weekend even though he goes to school for 5 hours 4 nights a week. Is he an awesome man or what?!?
We pulled in $1,000 in second job money this month. PLUS, for those who are paid bi-weekly like me and my husband, you receive three checks in July instead of two. We had some maintenance and repair bills to pay but we got to add quite a bit of it to our regular $1,000 a month payment.
How much is the check I get to mail to Toyota this month?
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS!
This is the biggest payment I have ever made to Toyota. I’m pretty sure they will hate me but really…
isn’t that the goal?!?
Here are the new numbers:
• Original Debt: $38,495.86
• Paid: $27,731.70
• Remaining: $10,764.16
•
Broken Down
• Auto Loan 1: $0
• Credit Card: $0 Woo Hoo!
• Student Loan: $9,193.62
• Auto Loan 2: $1,570.54
What an amazing month for us.
