I Did It!
August 4th, 2008. Filed under: Monday's Musings.I’ve met another of my financial goals for this year. I made it only four days past the deadline I had set for myself. I thought about it for awhile this morning while reviewing my finances, and decided to step out in faith. I paid off my car and will trust God for groceries the next two weeks. I know I have enough in the freezer and pantry to make it. I also could transfer some money from the savings to the checking, but I’m not going to do it. On May 2nd, I wrote about having my 2008 goals nearly met already. You can read it here in 2008 Financial Goals Nearly Met. At that point I had to come up with a new time line for my car pay off plus another goal for the remainder of the year. Now that my car belongs to me and not the credit union, I am focusing on eliminating my credit card debt by the end of this year. I will add the car payment to my monthly credit card payment and snowflake as often as I can. I learned about snowflaking at I’ve Already Paid for This Twice. It works. It got me to my goal quicker than I anticipated by about five months.

Congratulations on paying off your car!!!
one thing I’m good at
is pulling a meal out of an ’empty’ pantry.
really my pantry is never empty they just think it is.
p.s. how long does it take a mangled ankle to heal?
I hate my crutches.

Nova,
Sorry about your ankle. Sometimes a nice clean break can seem to heal faster than a badly sprained one. But I’m sure it won’t take as long to heal as it took me to pay off my car. ;p
