My boyfriend is the best. He knows about this blog. He knows that money gives me anxiety even when I am flush with it in my fat little fists. He is always supportive of me no matter what I decide to do. He only shows his exasperation with me 10% of the time. I am [...]

Pay down credit card debt by $5000
PASS – I paid the minimum in July as I said I would. I do know that in August, I am going to pay more than than the minimum, but not much. I am still on target to pay off one card at the end of [...]

2010 Goal #1
Pay down credit card debt by $5000
FAIL – Things are still in flux with my payroll situation. I’m being paid, but I haven’t settled things out. I’ve paid off $1830 of it so far this year. I guess that’s on target for the first third of the year, but I don’t feel like [...]

2010 Goal #1
Pay down credit card debt by $5000
FAIL – Right now, I am in a huge state of flux money wise. Because of my aforementioned legal bill, I was conserving cash. I hope to move towards this goal once things settle down in May. April will probably be bad too.

2009 Goal #1
Pay down credit card debt by December 31
An improvement over last month so no complaints. Would have been better if I restrained myself in New York City and skipped a shopping trip but that didn’t happen. At least I put it on a charge plate so I didn’t pay interest on it.

Big fat fail. Again.
2009 Goal #2
Fill the Save-O-Meter to $4K
A small improvement. It’s 30.5% but I will be drawing some of it down since I have some planned expenses coming due this month.

Of course today none of this mean anything. My friend, S, lost her [...]
