That's right, if only by one dollar, I am BELOW ten thousand dollars in debt. This feels so good. I feel like celebrating. In addition to the fact that I just got ENGAGED. Everything is so insane. Financially, I'm torn between debt reduction and the savings we will need to build up to pay for a wedding. But right now, I am just so happy.
My combined tax return was about $1500, so I used about 900 of that to pay off debt, the rest to take a trip to visit friends, bought a dress for the 4 weddings I have this summer, gave friends their wedding present, gave other friends a nice housewarming gift, bought a fancy candle for another friend's 30th and celebrated.
I may have splurged on a $25 lip gloss. But this only happened because I went into a store that I swore I would not enter during my debt reduction. But I had to buy a birthday gift quick, and they were really the only place I could think of. Damn you Bluemercury on M Street with all of your wonderful products! You tempt me so.
