Debt Update – 3/25/2023

I’m feeling pretty good! I’m about an inch close to being below $29,000 of debt…again. Next week, I’ll for sure make it.

Continue to read on for a breakdown of what was paid since my last update.

As of right now I have:

  • Credit Card Debt – $8,977
  • Total Debt (including credit cards) – $29,111.04

I did pretty well this month! I did get a work bonus and state tax refund that I used to pay a chunk towards my debt. Next month won’t be as sexy but so much progress will have been made this month that I truly can’t complain.

Great news! I added categories to each post so they can be searched by category! Click on the category at the bottom of post so you can sort through the topic of your choice! I’ll put this somewhere so it can be viewed.

About Me

I’m a licensed esthetician and free lance makeup artist that has a full-time career at a local credit union in Raleigh, NC. Personal finance has become my second love next to makeup, as well as an unhealthy addiction to Excel. The plan is to be debt-free by late August 2024. New posts will be available between Monday and Thursday at 6 AM. To watch my debt balances go up or down, check my Money Moves Monday/Month-End posts. 😊
