Chipping Away at the HELOC

February 5th, 2011 at 11:09 pm

I put $60.97 toward my HELOC principle today. The bulk of it ($44.85) was from a bonus check, $6.50 was a rebate from December that finally came in, and $9.62 was from a shopping program called NextJump. I'm in good shape to meet my $150 target this month. I have a half .com payment coming soon, and some other reward checks. I also have a piggy bank full of coins that needs to go to the bank, hopefully this week. Slow and steady wins the race.

I received my Petsmart gift card in the mail today. That was fast! The kids went to Grandmas for an impromptu sleepover. Hubby and I are going to take out from a local place. We thought about going out, but the weather is could and rainy. I'd much rather hang home in comfy clothes drinking a nice bottle of wine and watching a movie on tv.

And I totally took advantage of the kids being out of the house by gathering an entire bag of garbage to be thrown out. Half of the bag was from my bathroom, where I cleaned out the cabinets, threw out expired medecine, etc. And now I have a much better sense of what I have on hand. The rest of the bag was just clutter and garbage that we don't need, can't sell, etc. Junk. The kids are total pack rats though. Can't get anything past them!

This is shaping up to be a pretty good weekend...

    Congrats on taking the HELOC a little lower...every little bit helps. Also glad to see you are getting rid of the extra stuff! I remember when both my boys were your kids age...way too much clutter all the time! It feels good to get rid of the extra I know.
