$1,350 and change is another decent bump down on the ol’ debt meter. Yet the hole remains ridiculously deep to me. I know there are plenty out there that are perfectly comfortable with much greater total debt, simply because it’s primarily on their home. But it annoys me to no end to see how we’re paying well over half a thousand a month, solely on interest. Interest. In other words, a wonderful little fee just for the honor of being in debt. I can think of an almost infinite number of things I’d rather do with $500+ than send it to the bank coffers.
Looking at the totals right now, I’m thinking it’s time to really get extremely aggressive about unloading our other property to get our total down. I’m really itching for some serious progress…
