About Me

Creditcardfree

I graduated with a Finance degree and worked for a major mutual fund company handling group retirement plans. Now I blog and run a household!

I'm the wife of a full time Army Reserve Captain and SAHM to daughters ages 12 and 9. I'm 37 and DH is 40.

We started our marriage 13 years ago with over $10K in credit card debt from a failed business venture. We paid it off as quick as we could with the goal of purchasing our first home. We did this within 15 months of getting married. Now it is time to watch us pay off our home equity loan!!

Extra principal paid to HEL:
Jan '09 = $1009.34
Feb '09 = $3437.00
Mar '09 = $1427.30
Apr '09 = $913.43
Jul '09 = $347.10
Oct '09 = $259.00
Nov '09 = $665.00
Total 2009 = $8,058.17

Getting Closer to $7K

Last night I made an principal payment toward our home equity loan in the amount of $100. This is the money my parents sent us for our anniversary.

The new balance is now: $7,742.70

Trust me...I will get this down under $7K just days from now. Payday is tomorrow!
