So after having a garage sale and getting aunexpected refund from a doctor from one of Tim's surgeries last year, we were able to fund our $1000 baby emergency fund. Yah!!!!!!
Now that that is done this coming paycheck I have an oncall shift on it. I love tesday nights before payday. Why you might ask? Because I'm able to see the paycheck stub of what my paycheck is going to be on friday online. It helps me budget and finalize everything before I actually get the money. Well I got to go through everything tonight and we will pay off Charron Roofing. So finally, one bites the dust and we are getting our snowball started. :)
On another note, Tim's $12,000+ student loan is actually four student loans combined during billing. I discovered this past week after a little experiment, how I can actually pay extra on one at a time, and so therefore split it up into more bitesized chunks. So after paying off the roof, our next target is Tim's smallest student Loan named SallieMae#4(very original, I know). We owe like $680 on it and already this friday, we will be able to pay $100 on it.
Extra bonus, I got called in for a red shift tonight(that means my regular pay, + night shift diff, + another additional $8/hr) and then by the end of the week it'll put me in overtime so the last 8 hours of my work week will be overtime to boot. Awesomeness! So I'm hoping to knock her out of the house with the next paycheck.
Still need to take pics of our debt thermometer and figure out how to post it on here, just been kinda busy working, ya know.
I'm going to try to get in the habit of keeping more up to date with this add the daily struggle, choices, and sacrifices we are making to one day be debt free so we can live like no one else.
