Things are getting pretty hectic on a personal level right now, so I won't be writing (at least I say that now) a lot in the short term. That said, I did want to post a quick update.
We've been sticking to our credit card debt pay off plan (just made $1,500 worth of payments this morning). Jordan's credit card will be paid off next Friday and then mine will be paid off the following week. After that, you'll see that we'll just keep hammering the joint credit card until it dies.
I've been travelling a lot which is inflating the balance of our joint card (le sigh) but I've been submitting my work expenses as quickly as I can and keeping track of what's owed in the chart above. We currently have a bit more than a $1,000 that we'll still be owing come December which is the result of my being offered to purchase shares at work - a huge opportunity that Jordan and I decided to take advantage of.
We still may be able to get things paid off depending on how Christmas profit share and home buying closing costs all work out - but we won't be banking on those things.
quick debt load update
