6-month mark!

I just realized as I was updating my status today that as of the end of June, I’ve reached the 6-month mark with this blog experiment. So, drumroll please, my debt has been reduced by a total of $4,317.40 since July. Not terribly bad; I wish I were a little further along, but at least I’m heading in the right direction! That total represents a monthly average debt reduction of $719.57. My roommate is moving out at the end of July, so that will force me to really watch my budget going forward. That means no more clothing spending sprees (yes, I’ve had several relapses. But as I recently learned, relapse is part of recovery. Hee hee!). I’m getting down to business! In fact, I just decided that my goal for the end of the year is to be down $10,000. If I really put my mind to it, I can do it!
