First Big, Fat Snowflake in July
July 8th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
It’s snows in July - at least in my household. I’m making progress on my July Budget Goals.
Since July 1 I was able to sell some items on Craigslist to pay down debt -
- Desk lamp $35
- Bathroom sconce $75
- Ceiling light $50
- Misc. Furniture $600
In addition to this, I rounded up all of the loose change in the house and cars, including the change jar. I wrapped it all up and took it the bank yesterday for a whopping $162.80.
I was pleased with the amount until my statement arrived yesterday and the interest on my Capital One 14.90% card was $160 for the month. Grrr. I’m more determined than ever to pay this puppy off ASAP.
On a brigher note, I did transfer $922.80 last night to the Capital One card. That’s a nice, juicy snowflake!

Nice work! And so much easier than trying to eBay stuff.

I completely agree, Craigslist is the way to go! You’ve inspired me; I’m already going through my belongings in my head to try and figure out what I could get rid of (and for which someone else would pay cash money.)
