May 15th
I have not used the AMEX or the Chase Credit Card for several weeks.
Although when we go to Paris I think we will put about $1,000 on the Amex.
Amex is at $3,000
Chase at $2,800
No new wine purchase.

Coming Soon....
So I got both our fed and state refunds just now. I haven't fully updated May yet, b/c I wanted to wait until I had our bills paid for the month. So, by the end of the week you should see our CC debt drop considerably. I am paying off the smaller of the [...]
Summer Blues
People say I've achieved pretty good financial standing for my age. I feel like I finally got my head above water only for the next wave to come.

Two steps forward, One step back...
I was really pumped to apply my income tax return to debt this month. Just as I get excited to see progress, I get a call from collections. Somehow I owe MORE on a $8k trip to the hospital while I was uninsured. They forgot to bill me for the x-rays and [...]

Anyways... I paid off 2 CC in December and haven't used them since. I have been waiting for them to send me the 0% checks... and guess what! They fina [...]
8 Ways to Cut My Net Worth in Half in 2008
I am determined to cut my net worth in half by 2009. Since my net worth is negative, this is actually a good thing! Sounds absurd to aim for a net worth of -$30k, but that's my goal and I'm sticking to it.
I've updated my Net Worth and I'm very happy wi [...]
Our year to get out of debt
It's coming up on six months since I joined neworthiq and left my first journal entry. A lot has changed and a lot has stayed the same. Despite the pervasive gloominess in the media and the recent declines in my retirement portfolio I'm actually feeling [...]
