Weekly report: Ditchin Debt & Murphy’s law #1

Every week I’d like to do a weekly report of our progress getting out of debt (I know we’re finally starting) I’m not one to jump into something without doing a lot of research and obsessing over it for a few months.

This week we paid $100 towards debt. Not a lot but it’s something. We have a bunch of pending medical bills that we’re paying before we tackle our credit cards (which I can’t wait to do)

After paying off the $100, the next day we had to take my one and a half-year-old daughter to the ER. She was diagnosed with RSV, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Instead of putting the $150 on my credit card I paid for it fully!

I was talking to my wife about how Murphy’s law really does poke their head out when you’re trying to do something new, or get out of debt. I won’t let Murphy control us though!

I would like to pay off some sort of debt every week. Next week I would like to pay off 2 more bills that have been pending for a bit. Slow and steady wins the race!

We are also using Debt Free Charts to visualize our debt-free journey, so that’s going to be a fun way to stay motivated!

Weekly Report: Vacation plans while paying off debt #4

This week was crazy for us. We are officially refinanced (which took what feels like an eternity) and this is our first week paying more for a whole week of daycare because my father, who normally watches my daughter on Thursdays, had surgery and is out of commission for a month or so. We are a bit worried about money this week because we've been paying so much debt the past three weeks. I think we went a little too hard but we'll be ok! So this week we didn't pay anything off, but we did start our taxes! We're expecting a lot for our tax return which we're hoping will make a nice dent towards our last credit card and our Disney trip we have planned. I know you're not supposed to go on vacation while doing this whole get out of debt journey but let's be real. As much as I love listening to Dave Ramsey every morning, he would say not to go on vacation until all my debt is paid off. But, I'm not a super hardcore Ramsinite who follows EVERYTHING he ...

Best way to relieve financial stress during a pandemic

We are living in uncertain times. People are being laid off, we can’t leave our homes, it’s a real mess. But, with this time you can prepare yourself and your families for the foreseeable future by learning about personal finance. You don’t have to be a expert on personal finance you just need to know enough to get by. With this check everyone is getting from the government it’s a great place to start! I have no interest in politics, and I don’t know where the government made this money appear from, but I’m trying to get myself and my family out of debt not the United States! So free money is free money, as long as I don’t need to pay it back later with interest. So let’s pretend you’re a family of 3, you’ll be getting 3k from the government (woohoo). Instead of putting that towards a bill, save some of it. People have a lot of opinions on how much they should save for an emergency fund. My opinion is, it depends. When we receive the check, we’ll be putting at least 1k in our s...

Understanding debt snowball and avalanche methods

If you have heard about Dave Ramsey you’ve heard him talk and praise about the debt snowball. The debt snowball is when you pay off debt from lowest monthly payment to highest and disregard the interest. There is another known way of paying off debt called the avalanche method. That is when you pay your highest interest rate debt and disregard monthly payment. But which one is more time efficient? Let’s find out! The following are random amounts and interest rates to give a good idea on the time it will take to pay off the most common kind of debt. The debt: Credit card: Amount: $8,000 monthly payment: $264 interest rate 15% Student loan Amount: $10,000 For 10 years Monthly amount: $88 Interest rate: 6% House loan Amount: $9,000 for 6 months Monthly amount: 125 Interest rate: 0% Car loan Amount: $15,000 for 5 years Monthly amount: $262 Interest rate: 5% Debt snowball method: If we were to do the debt snowball method, the order would be student loans, h...
