It is so awesome to see our LAST DEBT dwindle every month. Well, OK, it has only been a month and a half, but with large chunks being paid toward the American Express, it is great to log onto their website and see the balance decrease! We completely missed seeing the $6,000 mark, and are now down to the $5,000 mark, and I am A-OK with that!
In February, we were expecting to pay $2,000 toward Todd’s American Express; however, with two farm-animal home vet visits, one piggy cremation, and a lot of stress, we were only able to put $1500 toward the debt. Oh, and we paid for our lodging on a much-needed vacation in May.
Yes, we could have done without the vacation, but I promised Todd that we would go away when Squiggy got better. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and Todd worked so hard for 3 weeks moving an immobile pig around, feeding him through a turkey baster, cleaning him up after he went potty, keeping him warm, taking his temperature and giving him shots. Todd definitely deserves a break.
It would be great if we could get into the mid $4,000’s by the end of March, but I’m not holding my breath. I know that life happens. The bills will be paid, a chicken coop will be built, a puppy and kittens will be loved, and hubby and I will be going on a couple of dates. If, after all of that, there isn’t $2,000 left over to pay toward debts at the end of the month, sobeit.
