I've made my credit card payments for the month and my new debt balance is $25,998.51. I'm disappointed that I will not reach my January goal of paying off $400, but because money is tight this month (and likely to be tighter next month), I'm paying just a bit more than the minimum. I also had a $75 increase to the debt because of a transfer fee in order to get a lower rate. I think my new goal is just to survive the next few months and hope like hell that I'll be able to get the money together to pay all my taxes in April. Paying extra on my debt would be gravy.
