$150 to CC

And, the momentum begins to build back up!!! I paid 150 to the credit card today, and deposited a couple of paychecks. So, when those get posted, I will be sending another payment. Then, that big paycheck is coming for a month's worth of test proctoring, and I can't wait to put that towards debt.

Momentum, Interrupted

It's amazing how slipping even a little bit out of a good routine can derail an entire gameplan. I wouldn't say that's exactly what's happened to me, but I can say that my momentum has been slightly interrupted.

First, I chose to take a portion of my income and put it towards a home improvement project that we've meant to do for years. Although this seemed like a very practical choice, I missed not being able to post that I'd used that $ for a credit card payment.

Second, I started a new testing gig, and it only pays once a month. So, once a month there will be a BIG payment post, but again, I miss the momentum of posting 2-4 times a month that I've made payments. (However, I will LOVE seeing the post of the BIG payment I make once a month).

Third, one of my testing gigs has had some human resources turnover, and it seems to have occurred with their payroll department. They are a couple of checks behind.

The good news is that while October has appeared to be a lean month, I think it will end with a BANG. I just have to be paitent and wait for it.

:-)

God bless.
