Broken Thumb

November 4th, 2006 at 12:34 pm



No, not me, my son's, and actually it was over a year ago that it was broken. That's how long it's taken my to pay off what the insurance didn't cover. But when my husband gets his paycheck next week, that bill will be paid in full. Finally!

I've been thinking about what my financial goals are going to be for next year. By the time January 2007 rolls around I should have the small CC paid off with what's left of my husband's profit share check he'll get early next month. So I'll be concentrating mainly on the other CC for the year.

My plans for the profit share check are:

- tithe
- get EF up to $1,000
- will probably have to use some to finish paying for tires for my car
- remainder on CC#1

According to my Quicken Tax Center we will be getting about $1,900 back in our tax refund this year. Not my choice, but can't convince hubby to claim more dependents than what he already is. So that will also be applied to the CC.

So according to my calculations I should be able to have CC#2 paid off next year. Let's hope!

    Keep trying to convince him on the withholding. It took me a good number of years to turn The Hubster around on this issue! The last couple of years we've been getting more in his checks because of it which certainly helped get us out of the debt cycle.

    It was a hard row to hoe for me as the guy kept thinking the IRS was going to come and take away his birthday or something! Not So! We calculate as best we can and have yet to have to come up with any additional funds. If we did happen to miscalculate it would only be a few dollars and we're fully capable of meeting such a small expense.

    Keep plugging!
