I haven’t made as much progress as I wanted to, but August has been and continues to be an expensive month. I went home, I had car expenses, I need to purchase another plane ticket to Washington, school is starting, and I had a time sheet issue that meant money I normally would have had by now won’t be coming in until Friday.
And, I finally splurged on the one big ticket item I knew from the beginning I would not be waiting to get out of debt before purchasing: iPhone 4. I was holding off as long as I could, but I came home from vacation to a very big pay day, so I paid all of my bills and then I went to the Apple site and ordered it. Can’t wait to have it in my hands.
Even though I’m always kind of frustrated with my progress, now that I’m below the $10,000 mark, every lower number just feels so exciting. My debt gets more manageable all the time.
(Also, as you can see in the picture above, they updated the mint.com iPhone app. to make it uglier. I miss that pretty back ground.)

That. Is. Amazing.
I’m so excited for (and inspired by) you! And though this is probably the sort of thing that got me INTO debt in the first place, let me just say that I think you deserve to splurge a little after you’ve worked so hard recently.
