Well, what do you know — made it through another tax season almost entirely intact! ;)

Looking at the final tally, it appears we had a bit of a slowdown this month. Which I’m going to blame entirely on my sister, of course. You see, she is getting married in a few weeks, so of course she needed a bridal shower and all that jazz. Which, being my little sister, I didn’t necessarily nudge the host — being my wife — to go cheap on the party favors and drinks and such. C’est la vie. It’s my little sister after all, and this will hopefully be the only wedding she ever has!

Which, of course, means that we’ll probably see a little more slowing this month. Have another gift to get, have to make myself presentable and such, etc. etc. At least I won’t be making a cross country flight or drive for this one!

Anyway, on to the raw numbers. Just a steady chipping away, though there has been some news on the property we’re trying to unload, but that’s a story for another day.

    Hello,

    The direction is good.. It’s good to see that you’re documenting what you’re paying off, and going in the right direction.

    Are you saving up an emergency fund while you’re paying down you debt?
