Archive for October, 2006

Goals

October 20th, 2006 at 06:44 pm

Pay Off Targets,

Pay off Chase credit card by December 5th.

Pay off TD Banknorth loan by January 1st.

Pay off MBNA card by July 1st, 2007

Have $2000 in savings by September 1st, 2007.

The Plan

October 20th, 2006 at 04:56 pm

Current income is $567/week after taxes.

Bills (per month)

Rent: $550
Phone: $47
Med & Dental Ins.: $135
Car Ins.: $50
Loan Payments: $180
Sallie Mae : $250-$350 For 25 years!!(I'll find out the exact number when my consolidation goes through)
Nstar : $50 - $150 (dependent on use)

I'm one step ahead of most people. I've never really had a disposable income so I am very good at controlling my spending. I spend very little that I don't need to.

What I've been doing on payday is paying the bills I get from the previus week then dumping whatever is left from my checking account down to $100 toward a credit card.

Positive: Debt is paid off in fastest possible way.

Negative: No savings is built until debt is paid off. (EF or other)

Financial Footprint

Debt

MBNA credit card: $4545 @ 30.49%

Not really. I'll have an actual number when my consolidation finally goes through. Somewhere around $55,000.

Savings

It's going to take a long time but this is where I start.
