As of today (Jordan's pay day) we have made our last large payment for the month of August towards our debt and have so far only used our credit cards for gas and groceries as we committed. I know it's only been a week...maybe less, but I think it's a win!
I've made a couple of slight adjustments to 'the plan' - come on....it's me, of course I did. Here is how we're shaping up for the next couple of months:
Jordan's dropping off the grant paperwork today, so I'm hopeful we'll have that $1,000 within the next week or two.
I'm keeping our tracking bar (top right) up to date as well, so if you're ever curious where we are at - that will give you a clear picture as to whether or not we're sticking to our plan.
