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.

My vacation savings is back at $0 after my last trip, but I plan on starting it up again next month. Let’s get to it.

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.
June 2013 Balance: $685.57
