Progress - 7.7%

Reworking numbers (adding debt I forgot) in March I actually only progressed to 6.3% paid off. April was horrible because I lost that all the way down to 0.5%.

Because of the $1,240 a month bill for summer camp for the girls I took some money out of my 401K at work. I padded it a little and made up for April's bad numbers. So for the summer I've paid for Ginny's summer and got the grand total back to 7.7%.

This debt just seems insurmountable. I'll work on getting my Robert Bateman print on eBay this weekend. That might get me $1000.

Expensive mistakes

I can't seem to learn not to spend money. This past Saturday I spend about $275 on two baby bunnies. Mistake! Of course they took them back, but they wouldn't give a refund for used stuff or "livestock".

I tried to impress on Juliana not to do as I do and what a huge mistake we made jumping into buying the bunnies. They sure were precious. The dogs loved them, too.

The second mistake was putting it on my MC. I really need to take it out of my wallet. I'll do that when I get to the car tonight. I'll keep it in the car for emergencies, but at least it won't be as handy.
