Not Me! Monday


Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Juliana turned 13 this past week. I did not spend $ at Dave and Busters, repeated adding more and more money on our cards. I wasn't addicted, not me!

For Jules' birthday, I did not buy an ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery enough for 30 people for just 5 of us! Nope! I do not LOVE their Mint Chocolate ice cream cake and will not gain 20 pounds over the next few weeks nibbling on it.

That is all I'll admit to... for now.

March Debt Progress


Thanks to me paying too much to Uncle Sam in 2009, I have made significant progress on my debt snowball! I am now up to 7.2% paid off since the beginning of February. I'll probably be at a turtle's pace from now on, but it sure is nice to have 4 $0 balances! There is also a great support group that I'm participating in called Women In Red, specifically the Racers in the South. There is a group for everyone, even international.

Debt Free in Three! How's that for my motto?!

1.1 percent!

February 8 was the all time high for my debt amount. I am now gazelle intense. And thankful for a nice tax return coming next week. But that is for the March thermometer. For now, on February 28, I had decreased by debt by 1.1%!

Dave says it's a behavioral change. I can see that and I'm trying to do it. Looking forward to seeing the March percentage.
