Let’s Throw Some Money at Our Problems: September 2014 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 spent the majority of this during my vacation last week, and will be starting this up again next month.

If you pay off one of your debts or reach a savings goal, email me your mailing address and I’ll mail you a note to congratulate you (the notes, they will come!).
