My Debt Roundup - September 2009


In 49 days, I have decreased my debt by $1,454 from $27,619 (July 22) to $26,165 today (Sept 9). It means that I am paying more than $30 each day towards my debt payment. So, where am I cutting cost? One thing; I am religiously bringing lunch from home. A nice side effect of this is another bodily loss - loss of 5 pounds or so.

PS. I know that I calculated my debt in 49 days. A more obvious approach would to do it monthly. Herein, I promise to show off my progress or share my failure at the beginning of every month by showing my current debt after I have paid my rent, which is my largest monthly expense.

  6. @Matt Jabs: Thanks for catching the typo. The month should have been "July" not "June".
