Let’s Throw Some Money at Our Problems: April 2013 Check-In

By Mike Dang April 25, 2013

It’s time to check in on our debt payments and savings goals again. If you’re joining us for the first time, you can read about our decision to publicly keep track of our debt here.

Let’s get straight to it.

Logan’s paying off a Barclay Card, which currently has an APR of 22.24 percent, and a minimum monthly payment of $47.
March 2013 Balance: $1,124.95
April 2013 Balance: $1,147.31

[Logan Note: How can the balance go up when you’re in payoff mode? MAGIC.]

I’m paying off one of my Sallie Mae Private Student Loans, with a current interest rate of 4.5 percent, and a minimum monthly payment of $55.
March 2013 Balance: $921.36
April 2013 Balance: $844.61

March 2013 Vacation Savings: $175.00
April 2013 Vacation Savings: $225.00

And as always, if you pay off one of your debts, email me your address and I’ll mail you a note to congratulate you. And if you hit your savings goal, I’m happy to send you one as well. I still owe a few of you guys cards, but they’re coming I promise.
