Finances
Last updated: 6 April 2008
I actually started this blog in March 2008 and was all ready to start tracking my finances meticulously and post charts here and everything, but… um… I kind of started losing track near the end of the month. And I am a perfectionist about this stuff. It’s all or nothing. So I’m starting again. The biggest, most glaring problem for me is my debt, which may seem like small potatoes to some of you, but it is staggering to me–I don’t see this amount in a year, much less can I pay it all off right now.
From here on out I will just post charts at the beginning of each new month to show my progress. I’m somewhat happy to report that the smallest debt on this pie chart is now gone. OK, it’s only twenty dollars, but it’s twenty dollars I no longer owe. Oh, and I also paid off the late cable Internet bill.
At the moment I’m just tracking my income and my spending. I need to keep on top of this so I can get an idea after a few months of just what kind of a situation I’m in. Eventually I should be able to post some other charts here to track real goals.
