My Journey From Debt

Well, since my last update here, it was payday last Friday, I have received pay of $660.80, and purchased $45.00 worth of fuel for my vehicle. If I haven’t said it before, I want to take a moment to say that I am extremely happy that gas prices have dropped below $2.00 because it’s making a huge difference in my monthly budget.

However, now that I have nearly $750.00 in my checking account and more money on the way, I am going to make an extra payment on my Credit Card 2 account and also pay my electric bill.

$425.00 - Credit Card 2 - Extra Payment
$100.00 - Electricity - Amount Due $67.00

This leaves approximately $125.00 in my checking account, which is not enough to pay the nearly $300.00 that I need to pay because my car insurance is due later this month. What I am going to do with that money instead is just let it sit in my account and I will wait until I get some more money. Alternatively, I may need to put some more gas in later this week and my kitchen is getting pretty empty so a trip to the grocery store may be in order.

I am expecting some more income later this week or early next as well as payday at the end of next week so things should work out pretty good for me this month. However, I do want to remind myself that I owe my mom $300.00 yet that I want to get paid off as soon as possible as well.
