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 [...]

It’s pretty awesome to be down to one card even if I don’t feel like I’ve made much progress since. It’s always been quite depressing to think that even when I make it to the last card, I’ll still have $10,000 to go, but now I’m taking it down. It feels pretty awesome actually. I [...]

Here’s an update on how I’m doing. This is a screen shot of the iPhone application for Mint.com. I definitely recommend it if you have an iPhone. If you don’t have an iPhone, Mint will send you text notifications if you still want access to that information on the go. The best thing about this [...]

I thought a lot about how open to be with these numbers. It’s a lot easier to admit you’re in debt without saying just how in debt you are. But, if I’m already being honest, then I might as well be completley honest. Here is the truth of my debt as it stands right now: [...]
