Discovering what it takes to say "NO" to spending "YES" to saving

PROGRESS

Hello everyone! Welcome to Chicky Finance! I started this blog in mid January after reading several PF blogs; I got so motivated that I decided to share my "not so smart" mistakes and hope that someone else can learn from my miscalculations at the same time witness my journey of becoming debt free!

CC#3 is Gone!!

Last friday finally we got our stimulus check for $1,200! Sooo here is how I will be spending greeny green $1,200.
First I've done my part for the economy; I bought 2 Denver-Los angeles Soutwest tickets for hubby and I. We will be traveling Colorado Springs in July to see how life is out there. We will stay for four days and explore the area whole time. Suprisingly, we got the tickets super cheap; one way $69, can you believe it? Total round trip tickets for two costed me $358. I still have $842 after paying my dues for the US economy. Also I sold an item on ebay for $182 which ended today. I guess now I can officially declare that CC#3 is gone!! Yay!

Here is my current lovely debt:
CC#1: Paid Off
CC#2: Paid Off
CC#3: Paid Off
CC#4:$2,000 interest %0
CC#5:$4,076 interest %0
Loan: $13,970 interest %12

Total: $20,046

I still owe $300 my sister and IRS $5,000

I am so happy finally CC#3 is gone..Now I can focus on CC#4 which is $2,000. This is one is going to take awhile because I need to start making payment for IRS and also I need to pay for CPA exam prep course during month of June. Well, I just need to be patient and not give up...
