Updated Status Bars

I actually did some adjusting to my status bars (tracking my goals on right side of page). I originally put my student loan and car totals from the day I made the status bar. But in actuality, I have paid off much more of those debts than I was giving myself credit for. And in the marathon of debt repayment, I wanted credit for it! So, both of those totals now reflect the original totals, meaning my progress is much higher. It's much nicer to see that I've paid off 62% of my car loan and 38% of my student loans than it was to see 14% and 1.5%. :) Make me feel like I accomplished something today.

I also have started planning for getting my car paid off after the credit cards. My goal is by the end of 2011 (if not sooner!). I am hating my consumer debt more and more...and I am getting closer everyday. Today, because I am making myself dinner before I go to watch the playoff game (or, more accurately, socialize at a bar while the game is on) instead of eating at the pub. Yes, I will still buy a beer, but I am saving at least ten bucks today. Every good choice is one step closer to my goals. This has dissolved into me doing affirmations. I am going to stop now.
