To Do By Dates

This is how I want the rest of the year to go. I think it is attainable. We are still waiting on our state refund, and DH will have two extra checks this year. Right there, that is $2400ish to throw towards something. We just need to stay focused. I set up the Fall Fun account because we do so many expensive things in the fall-a pumpkin patch, the county fair, a haunted house, Halloween decorating and fun. I want to be prepared this year!

May 31st-Have baby account fully funded at $900
June 30th-Chase 2 gone
July 30th-Credit union card gone
August 30th-BOA 2 Gone
September 30th-Have 'Fall Fun' account funded at $250
November 1st-Car Loan Gone
Thanksgiving-Christmas/Holiday Expenses account funded at $1700
December 31st-Have Emergency Fund at $2,000

We got a $350 dental bill the other day for some of the work done on DH's crown/root canal. We thought this would be covered, but apparently some of it was not. I'll have to read over the EOB to make sure everything is correct. I am so proud of my DH though. He was worked 65 hours this week so we could pay the entire bill next paycheck and not effect our debt payments or savings. I feel like he is really on board, maybe even more than me! We have been trying to get our debt payed down since 2007, and this go around is the time that has REALLY stuck. I think DH's enthusiasm this time around is what has made all the difference in the world. He really wants to start trying for a baby this summer, and he is doing his part to make it happen. I certainly appreciate it!
Since August 1st, 2009, we have paid off $11,099, which I think is pretty darn good. By August 1st, 2010, we are on track to have $17,000 paid off or 27.5 percent of our debt. By December 31st, 2010, I would like to have $24,110 paid off. At this point, we would be left with student loans and one BOA card. Not too shabby :)
