Paying Off a Credit Card, Funny Money and Selling on eBay

by

I haven’t been around here much the last few days. When I’m quiet, you know something is up. Don’t worry – nothing bad has been going on. I’ve just been busy increasing my knowledge related to my career. Sometimes, when I get my nose into a book I just want to keep going until I finish it. I think I will be able to finish it up tomorrow and then I’ll give some updates on here (including our end of January net worth update). In the meantime, here’s a few things I found interesting this week:

Kevin sent the last little bit needed to pay off his credit card. Congrats!

Mighty Bargain Hunter shares some funny money celebrity-style. My favorite is the first Brad Pitt one.

Lastly, this blog isn’t necessarily personal finance related, but I wanted to point it out to you because I will definitely be keeping an eye on it. Why? Because it’s about selling on eBay and that’s something I have been wanting to do for a while now. Texas Tracy’s goal is to help you start making an extra $250/month by selling on eBay. She’s even going through the steps to sucessful selling.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

End of January Credit Card Debt Update: $15,999

by

At the end of every month, I look at my Quicken file and determine how much more we can send towards our debt before the month end. This month, we could comfortably send $250 towards our debt.

But wait…if we send $365, we could get our debt balance below $16,000.

With being so close to that little milestone, I couldn’t help but tack on more to our end of January payment. Our checking account will be very low for a little while, but that just means we can’t spend money 😛

The extra money I sent today brings our credit card debt to $15,999.

Next up? $14,999 🙂
