Debt Update: The End Of Summer

Adam — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:00:00 +0000

Hey all! It’s the last full month of summer and an overall good one for our finances. Once again, not much has changed (i.e. we didn’t win the lottery). However, we did have another record month for our family loan payment. We were able to drop a $1,500 bomb on it. It’s definitely not going to be [...]

Another month come and gone. Is it just me or is time flying by this year? Anyway, it was another typical month. Nothing too special. We did pay $1,000 on the family loan, our largest amount to date! We’re hoping it leads to a lot more in the future. August should be a good month [...]

Spring Cleaning = Cash

Adam — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 14:00:39 +0000

I know what you are thinking, “This guy is crazy, spring is over!” Well, spring cleaning can come late for some people, especially procrastinators like me (and possibly you). When I talk about spring cleaning, I am specifically referring to selling some of the junk that you don’t use. As you are cleaning up around [...]

Debt Update: Two Months Combined

Adam — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:00:20 +0000

Yeah, yeah. I know I’m a month behind. Doesn’t that make this more exciting though? Well, the last two months for us were full of financial surprises. We paid for a graduate class, had our tires replaced, blah, blah, blah. It seems to be getting a little old if you ask me. I just want [...]

Perfection Doesn’t Exist

Adam — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 12:00:04 +0000

Perfection is something that I thought could be obtained in some way. Actually, it almost caused me to quit writing this blog. One of the reasons that I blogged so infrequently was because I was always trying to create the “perfect” blog post. Well, I’m here to tell you that perfection does not exist. It [...]

The Root of Our Money Problems

Adam — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:00:24 +0000

We finally found the root of our money problems. Want to know what it is? According to my wife, it’s me. When she said that in the car to me the other night, I laughed it off. But as I sat there and thought about it, she was absolutely right. I brought the most debt [...]

Debt Update: Finally Settling Down

Adam — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:00:25 +0000

Phew, what a month. I moved (sort of), started a new job (kinda) and became a full-time husband (finally). So financially, it wasn’t the most amazing month ever but it was still good. I received my first new paycheck and my pay jumped up about $80 for the two weeks. Anything helps, especially now we [...]

Use Your Credit Card as an Emergency Fund?

Adam — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:00:12 +0000

A few months back when I wrote about how our small emergency fund saved us, No Debt Guy commented on how having an emergency fund in cash may be counterproductive. Here is what he said: I have often wondered if having an emergency fund is the best way to pay off debt or is it [...]

Debt Update: February 28, 2010

Adam — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:00:56 +0000

February was a short month in terms of days but a big month for debt repayment. We managed to eliminate $2,532.86, our biggest month ever! This was in addition to replenishing our emergency fund (about $800) that was depleted from paying some estimated taxes in January. We feel great about what we were able to [...]
