Wednesday, Just went over 100,000 views!

Day 23 with no CC debt!
Studio checking $243.94
Personal checking -$255.88

     I just went over 100,000 views last night.  It is funny but I so clearly remember Rhitter commenting on my first blog post almost 2 years ago.  I don't know if either one of us is any better off financially but we certainly are there for each other and smarter and stronger.

     I paid all the bills for the month both personal and studio.  I had 2 CC charges that I added to the regular payment so I am back to no CC use for the year.  As you can see the totals are very dismal now. I was able to pay $2000.00 to my first large debt, and will add another $1000.00 as we have a three paycheck month this month.  Then it is whatever I can throw at it.  Next month will be tight.  I will have a larger than usual payroll, the accountants bill, my Aunts Birthday check and a theater bill, so I don't see any real progress other than just minimums.  In March I will get an extra $1000.00 in recital fees. Then I might see my way forward.

     Now I really need to concentrate on getting $500.00 for February's house payment and trying to get money back into the emergency fund.  That is going to be my February goal.  That means I have to come up with about $1300.00 above and beyond what I need to pay bills, and buy groceries and gas.  But I think I can do it.

     Yesterday, I took all the files upstairs to start the taxes.  I am going to sew today and try to get everything done in the shop today and tomorrow.  Then I will do taxes Friday and Saturday.

     Out My Window:  Cold, no rain yet.  But it will warmer when it rains.

Have a great and productive day!
