Title: 4 months into new job - $12.5k less debt!
Post by: GoldenSkier on May 30, 2015, 08:43:42 AM
Sorry for a gloating post, I'm really excited!

I've managed to get myself into horrendous amounts of debt in the past several years and am just now rectifying everything. With a job that I started at the beginning of February, in addition to paying additional minimum payments for other things, I've reduced my debt load by $12,500 since then! It's starting to feel like I have actual momentum in paying down money. Hopefully this snowballs and continually increases the payoff of the remaining $60,000 really quickly!

Congratulations!

Keep going at it and your negative net worth will soon turn into positive numbers.

Congrats! The crossover point where your NW goes above zero on the Mint/YNAB graphs is extremely satisfying!
