I paid off a cc this month! Well since I deposited my pay check yesterday the account will be zero on Wednesday. I wanted to give the paycheck time to deposit into my account. Only 5 more cards to go! I will have 4 of them paid off by end of September 2008. The other one will have 10k more to pay off but that should be done by March 2009. I could probably speed the whole process of paying of cc debt 3 or 4 months faster if I put nothing into savings but I don’t feel comfortable right now with the cash on hand and saving $500 a month means that I can build the 911 fund back up to 10K or more. That is really where I feel comfortable. It is earmarked for various things (see goals to left) but truly it would be used in an emergency should one arise.

Guess I set some really long term goals for myself but I really want to make it so I only have my student loans outstanding. I think I can run serious numbers for a house if those are the only numbers I owe or am I dreaming? Anyone care to weigh in on that thought?

On another non financial piece, can someone walk through how to change the colors on our blogs? I have wanted to do it since they changed the formats but whenever I try nothing seems to stick. I can’t type a color nor can I just select a color and have it enter into the box by the blog section names. Am I missing a driver on my computer or something? Please help if you can!

Have a wonderful weekend. I won’t have much to update financial wise until Novembers’ pay check. But I do read every day at lunch and reading about some of you guys really keep me on track!
