Huge Strides and October's Budget

Well September was a very good month. I paid an additional 6% ($1,187) of my debt. What a great month. Most of the funds came from other sources other then regular income. Take a look at the chart from No Credit Needed below. It is great to see such progress. Still though, my original plan was to have most of those smaller debts paid off by now. My new plan is to have the Mortgage (home improvement), providian card, fingerhut and Black Gold insulation all paid off by the end of the year. Looking at incoming funds and the size of these debts, it is very ambitious, but I am going to do my best to make that goal.

This months bills include:


Mortgage: $75
Electric: $90
Heating: $50
Water: $40
Food: $50
Gas: $85
Car Payment: $400
Providian: $50
BlackGold Insulation $275
Fingerhut: $50

Total: $1,165

My expected take home income will be: $1,000
plus any income I might make from online and other sources.

Thanks

I actually have no mortgage as you know it....it is a home improvement loan with about $1,000 remaining on the loan. My goal is to have that debt gone by the end of the year, so that I can focus on the automotive debt.

Congratulations on another month of reducing your debt. You are doing fantastic and are an inspiration to me and my family.


Many banks and credit debt companies which have piled up their stocks are expanding their personal and commercial services. On individual level, student loan services are being offered at nominal interest rates. While commercially, banks have really queued up to sell out the merchant accounts combined with a merchant card. Merchant account lets you accept the online payment through credit cards. Such services can now easily be availed through online bank.
