Quantcast Finally Frugal: October 2011

The bumpy road to financial independence. . . .

Infrequent update. . . .

If you're wondering where I've been in the last six months, I picked up another job, which has just about stretched me to the limit. I'm working a LOT but am also making a nice dent in my student loan debt, though I've still got quite a ways to go. Here's where I was the last time I checked in with you all:

Debt Reduction Progress

Second Mortgage Debt: $31,400::::$26,257 84%
Student Loan Debt: $61,762::::$56,387 91%
Primary Mortgage Debt: $167,500::::$158,016 94%

And here's where I'm at now (focusing primarily on student loan debt):
Second Mortgage Debt: $31,400::::$25,888 82%
Student Loan Debt: $61,762::::$51,881 84%
Primary Mortgage Debt: $167,500::::$156,757 94%

Little by little, I'm getting there; and since I picked up a new job in late spring/early summer, hopefully my student loan debt will decrease even quicker over the next year. About 20% of my payments are going to service interest only right now, so that's a bit frustrating, but that number will also decrease as my balance goes down.

I have no idea when I'll have a chance to update again, but will try at least every couple of months. . . .

I hope you're all continuing to survive the recession (that supposedly ended two years ago)!
