Getting Things Done, Rewards and Debt Paid

March 6th, 2009 at 04:10 am

So a couple of post back I listed some things that just needed to be taken care of. Well, I am pretty much getting everything done on my list.

I took my car in to the repair shop, they said it was my transmission and I need to go to a transmission shop. While on my way to the transmission shop, I stopped at a friends who looked at my car and guess what, it was just low on fluid. Umm, hello oil change place and repair shop, maybe you should check that out. My Jeep drives great now. I mean, afterall, it is a 2001, eventually it is going to need some fluids. God love good friends who look out for you.

I got my Federal Deposit today and I am headed to the credit union to pay off my son's college loan. I have already deleted it from my side bar.

I am making great strides. I have paid off three debts as of today and have lowered my debt from 22,114.18 to $16,785.17 (that is including my Jeep pmt.)

At the rate I am going, by the end of the year, I will have the Jeep and Chase Visa paid off and will have made a sufficient dent in the other two cc debts.

Plus, my emergency fund is really growing. I also opened a new checking account at another bank to use solely for either three purposes (a business account, X-mas and birthday account or traveling account - can't make up my mind yet). I got $50.00 just for opening a this checking account. The bank put $25.00 in the attached savings and gave me a $25.00 Visa gift card) I figured it was a good place to put all of my change, rebates, unexpected checks and I am having $100 direct deposited from my other checking into this one.

Turned in my points from one of my visa cc's and got a $25.00 Home Depot card. I know have $150.00 in Home Depot cards and visa gift cards to put towards either the deck or siding for my house.

The friend that fixed my car has also fixed our portable dvd player and is working on my daughters computer. He says it should be done in a day or two. He is my oldest's father and he really goes out of his way to make our lives comfortable. I am really blessed by the family and friends that I have in my life.

Still trying to find a car for my daughter. It will happen when it is supposed to.

That is pretty much it. Have a great day all.
