No fanfare...just the numbers.
Retirement Loan
Repayment: $221 per paycheck (26 per year)
Current balance: $11,551.70
Student Loan
Repayment: $229 per month
Current amount: $21,819.21
Yay! It rolled down to the next thousand. But since we are no where close to doing anything about this other than the current payment....it is pretty boring. We are just under a year away from it being under $20k, and this is the last debt on the list that will be paid.
Credit Card
Repayment: Varies
Current amount: $10,679.60
Mysti's Car
Repayment: $230 per month
Current amount: $4,245.00
G-man's Car
Repayment: $127 per monthCurrent amount: $2,865.00
We have officially crossed the 50% mark on this! I took about $200 from the buffer that we keep (that slush was just too slushy) and paid extra (above the rounding that I always do anyway). Yay.
Total: $51,160.51
We are about a month away from being below $50k....which will be the next milestone. I had hoped to be under 50k for this update, but I just couldn't swing it. For about 5 min, I thought about pulling money from EF to do it, but decided we needed to have the cash given all of our moving stuff and too much being up in the air.
I am looking forward to being in the 40's though. Mentally it is a huge thing, even though the reality is that we still have a ways to go. I am predicting about 14k will be paid off in next year just by the nature of the beast, and by the end of 2016, my car will be paid off, and G-man's car will be a few months later. I would love to have both paid off by the end of 2016, but we will see how it goes.
There ya go.
Keep on chugging! You will get there! Doing great my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt is slowly getting there. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteYou're so close to $50,000. You are heading in the right direction. Plus, after you move, you will really be able to make strides with the lower cost of living.
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all! Student loan is the biggest thing, and that's true for a lot of people. Many people owe on cars, also. And your credit card debt is not outrageous.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the retirement loan "debt" is just money you owe yourself, so you're just counting an asset you once had, that you're trying to replace. It doesn't technically go on a debt line, although I know we've already been over this. :o) I know you count it because you have to make payments to it. Just pointing out that you have less debt than you think!
You are doing such a great job, Mysti!! Go Mysti! Go Mysti! Goooooooo Mysti!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great!!
ReplyDeleteMy total debt is $58,815.06 :( That's 3 student loans (can't consolidate any further), 1 auto loan, 1 CC, 1 Care Credit, & 1 personal loan. I'm hoping to shave $5,784.32 off that balance by the end of October.
Keep chugging along but some miracle will come soon, some relative will croak and leave you 50k or you will win the lottery etc... Wait and see :)
