My Debt Snowball Progress (December) and A CARD PAYOFF!!!

Tuesday, January 7, 2014
So my goal was to have my Target Visa card paid off by January 1, 2014. In order to do that, I would have to be paying AT LEAST $367 a month on that card using the debt snowball method I mentioned in my budget post. Well, it suddenly occurred to me, why not try to exceed that amount every month?! So I did!

 And guess what, I JUST PAID IT ALL OFF!!! My final payment was almost $800!

I basically just added up all my Christmas money, blog income, and some ebay money and I did it!!!!

 HOORAY!!! My next goal is to have my Capital One card paid off by June 2014 and guess what I KNOW I can do it!

    Go Ellen! What a fantastic way to kick off 2014! If I may ask, what is the snowball method? I have a few credit cards that I would love to pay off before I graduate in May!
