Blogging Away Debt Our Journeys to a Debt-Free Life

by Tricia

February turned out to be an awesome month for our net worth. I am very pleased with a gain of 5.45% and our net worth now sits at $-36,102.

Looking at the table at Net Worth IQ, it’s nice to see that spot under “retirement” growing. It’s almost at $500 and I didn’t even miss that money. There’s much to be said about having things automatically deducted from your paycheck 😉

A quick update – my husband received an offer for another temporary job for the summer. He hasn’t accepted it yet, but I think he will. He’s done that job before and he enjoyed it. They REALLY want him to come back. The main thing holding him back is childcare but I think we’ll be able to figure something out.

I think back to when my husband lost his job. Some of you said, “When one door closes, another one opens.”

Very true…very true.

Sometimes, other bloggers say things much better than I ever could. Here’s one of those instances, courtesy of Debt Tally.

“They upped our credit limit by $1500. Oh, those credit card companies and the tricks they play. But it’s fine by me – widen the gap between the credit we use and the credit we have, and that’s ok by me — it’ll up our credit score. But poo for you, oh Mr. Credit Card, because we won’t be going anywhere near the top end of that limit ever again!!”

“Poo for you” cracks me up! 🙂

Congrats on your progress Debt Tally!
