In August, my goal was to pay off my credit card debt by May 1 of 2009. With the expenses of buying a house and moving, I'm a little behind where I wanted to be at the end of 2008. I currently owe $5700. That means I would have to pay $1400/month in order to make my goal of May 1st--not possible.
I must revise my pay off goal, but the end is definitely in sight. I really think I can be debt-free in 6 months! Wow! I'm looking forward to Baby Step 3--saving a fully funded 3 month emergency fund
I still have to make a budget for January and the New Year. I'm not sure how the utilities will run for the new house, so I'll have to estimate the gas, electric and water bills for 2009. I'm looking forward to crunching the numbers.
