I haven't written for a while, but I feel like I'm back on track and my financial goals are in focus. I've been getting almost 10 hours of overtime a week for the past month. I feel like it is truly an act of God, blessing my family. The company I work for is notoriously stingy when it comes to offering overtime. The project that they have me working on is something really trivial and unimportant. It makes no sense that I would have this opportunity to earn so much extra money so a blessing from God is the only explanation I can think of.
We have been making some huge strides already this year in paying off our debt. With our tax refund my husband has been able to pay off his car completely. That's an extra $255 we'll have in our bank each month. With my overtime I will have succeeded in paying off my $1,200 school loan and $1,400 credit card bill by the end of April. With those three monthly payments knocked out cold we'll have an extra $355 in our monthly budget to keep snowballing towards the rest of our debt.
I no longer feel like I am drowning. I'm still in pretty deep but I feel like someone has thrown me a life jacket and I can at least keep my head above the water now.
