Ok, so I do like alliteration.
I have yet to find any kind of plug-in to help me display our van payoff in my sidebar so I just created a good ‘ol spreadsheet and pasted it in the right sidebar as a table. I decided to go ahead and show the actual dollar amount vs. some sort of percentage or hidden amount. Nothing to be embarrassed about and it’s not like I’m showing how much savings we have…just the opposite. I also included our monthly payment minus any interest they take out each month. It’s not exact, but when we’re starting at 10 grand, who’s counting pennies?
I figured it up and I’d have to make an extra $500 a month from PPP in order to pay the van off by end of next year which would be my ultimate goal. However, I’m not sure if that’s doable or not. If no extra funds are given to the van, we won’t pay it off until Spring 2010.
So far this month I’ve made $56, over twice as much as I made all last month. If I continue with the same rate of posts as I have, that is about $200 extra a month and we will be down to around 3K by end of next year. So thank you, thank you for putting up with the few extra posts so far. I know I have a long way to go but at least this gives me a goal to shoot for.
I will update the amounts as I get approved for things and as I have time to update it.
