I haven’t been this happy to see Friday in a LONG time. It’s been such a busy and rushed week at work. So, let’s just skip to the chase and make this as short an update as possible. I made a whoppin’ $1,192.43 payment towards the loan earlier this week!! OH YEAH, thank you Mr. Mileage Check & Mr. Profit Sharing! …So what does that mean? I completely skipped the $8,000’s. I went from $9,075.00 to $7.901.82. Talk about a motivation booster!!! Starting to see the debt boulder picking up a little speed to get to the bottom of the hill! I would have liked a nice, even $7,900.00 but Mr. Columbus made the banks close on Monday and so my payment came out on Tuesday. What does that mean? My loan had accrued $1.82 of unpaid interest! Bummer. It was sooo tempting to make an additional payment of $1.82, but I resisted knowing I would be making another payment today…For today's payment, there were just too many things going on and too many expenses for me to put the $550 I like to pay and instead I had to make a puny payment of $154.45 today. Not so great, but a little is better than nothing! (AND, I just realized that it STILL won’t be an even number! I forgot to add the extra $1.82 to my payment! so much for that!) =)
In other news, I had a group interview yesterday for a second job (part-time) at Bath & Body Works! They are hiring for seasonal help and I would love some extra cash, so why not!? This job could really get the numbers down quickly! I'll find out next week if I get the job, so I’ll keep ya posted.
