The Job
My job continues to be exhausting in all ways possible. I’m dragging myself through each day, or more accurately, the days are dragging me. Every week feels like a tour of duty…
Housing
Someone has rented the vacated room, so my portion of the rent is returning to normal now that I have three roommates again. *Cue rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus*. We didn’t have the luxury of being picky this time around, so we’ll see how it goes…
Credit Card Debt
Another payday has come and gone. The money is already spent as soon as it hits my bank account. Ugh. Today, I made a payment to bring my credit card balance down to $483.
Student Loan Debt
I made another tiny payment to my student loan to pay interest so that my student loan balance holds steady at $5,000. The first order of business is to kill this credit card debt, then return to the student loan.
“Life Fund” Savings
No changes since last week. As of today, my Life Fund is holding steady at $4,000.

Hang tight! You’re so close. Sometimes when you’re this close it’s easy to be antsy because you see the light at the of the tunnel.

These challenges always seem to go down like a staircase, where it seems level for a while then there’s a sudden drop. I find your story very inspiring and it has given me inspiration. I hope that you will get the final drop down to $0 debt in the next few weeks and will be rooting for you.
Best wishes.
Paul.

I’m struggling to have patience in those periods of plateau. (Wow, alliteration much? lol)

I feel that way about work right now too – there’s something incredibly draining about it and I’ve been looking for a better way to get through it without feeling like it’s just three tons of unwanted bricks. But I do want those paychecks very much. So we persist.
Looking forward to your continued steady progress paying down that debt. Zero day is on your horizon.
