It's been a long time coming, but we managed to finish off our
first of 35 envelopes this week. We decided to sell our dust-collecting Wii on craigslist and got $150 out of it.
On the inside of the envelope the card read,
"$1,000 paid off $34,000 to go! We have a long road ahead of us but I know we'll make it!! ROADTRIP- QuikTrip drinks to celebrate the first of many steps!"
We always get a quiktrip drink on our way out of town to visit family or go on a long trip, so it is fitting for us to start this long journey with a QT drink! The neat part about paying off this past $1,000 is that it marks $25,000 of debt gone since we started this 3 years ago. I have a feeling if we wouldn't have put it toward debt, we would have nothing to show for it now. So glad we chose the road less taken, it feels so good!
Envelope #2 has $891.49 left to pay off. Good news though...our tax refund is pending in our checking account right as we speak. After a friendly car repair, we have a big chunk going to debt. I have a feeling envelope #2 isn't going to get settled in on our fridge!! YES!
