I’m still paying off the trip from Kenya. There’s probably about $800 left of debt on my American Express as I write this and it will take me a couple of months before I can get it all cleared. Of course it would be $100 more if not for a basket full of change.
Before my parents left for Mothers Day my Mom gave me a plastic jug with a coin counter on it. I’ve been using it to dump all my change in it and now that it’s reached more than $100 I’m using it to pay down my debt. Why, because that’s what you do when you’re poor.
Dave Ramsey would be so proud. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the behavior of someone who will eventually get rich. Paying off your debts quickly and saving your spare change is a good plan. Setting aside what you won't really miss is a good way to save. Next time, take that $100 and invest it. Of course, at this point it might be just as safe to get a few more jars and hang onto it until the market settles down.
