Sixty To Zero

My journey to pay off $60,000 of debt in 3 years


Oct 02

Credit Card Debt, September, 2009

Published in Untagged  by kvan Print PDF

It was a really crazy end of summer and beginning of the school year, so I've had little to no time to update the blog.  My debt reduction plan has slowed to a crawl over the last three months, and I've only made minimum payments in that period.  The good news is that my current interest rates are very reasonable, with 5.99% being the highest of the 3 active accounts.  I've been paying roughly $625 per month in payments with a roughly 92% payment efficiency.  That means $575 per month is going towards principle reduction, and $50 in interest.

 My current out of debt date is December, 2011.
