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

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.

I’ve restarted my vacation savings account, and should be up to date on mailing out notes to all you fine folks who have paid off your debt. Okay! Let’s get to it.
