I have been a very bad girl the last couple of weeks. I haven't updated on, well, anything but in my defense it has been a crazy couple of weeks. Work for both of us has been pretty hectic and we have dealt with a round of sickness between a few of us as well. Here's what I had prepared for the update that should have been posted on February 12th:

LOOK AT THAT SAVINGS! WOOHOO!
From here on out I will only be posting the version without the mortgage because there's no way we will be paying off the mortgage in the next 5 years! Unless of course there is some major lottery winnings... one can hope, right?

Speaking of the mortgage, husband got a call from Wells Fargo (one of the car loans is through them) and they talked about refinancing the mortgage. His credit needs to be a little higher but once it is they can refinance it for about 2.5% lower interest rate for a 30-year and 3.5% lower rate for a 15-year! When we crunch the numbers, the 15-year would only make our payment about $150 more than what it is now. Once we cut out some more debt and monthly expenses this is a no-brainer as far as we are concerned.
Back to the debt elimination side, we got rid of Bank of America! YAY! That puts us down to only 3 credit cards, all in good standing. The IRS paid off our state taxes so those are gone, and I made a huge dent in my credit card. I have since made a payment to my husband's student loan which will show in the next update.
Even though it's not huge progress, I'm happy with the little that it is. Very happy, indeed.
