over $10,000.00 in debt over the past two years (when I started keeping track and making a real effort) That is over 50% of our debt done. And we are well on our way to making that number 0.00 meaning 100%. I would say though that over our relationship and before i starting keeping track our total debt and with some bills and other stuff popping
up, and if we had paid nothing off, including the debt we paid before I starting keeping track our total debt was roughly around $25,000.00 give or take, meaning we had paid roughly 60% of it off.
Part of me is like “whoa.. you wasting so much money on the bank paying back this crap and for what. That money could have been used elsewhere” another part of me is like “yes it’s a big number but remember that some of it was necessary like for your immigration to stay in Canada” but the other part of me (which is the part I am choosing to listen to) is like “you are over 50% of your goal of being completely debt free, that is awesome, keep it up girl!!!”
I admit I am looking forward to the day where I can post on this blog, post on my social media accounts and shout to the heavens “I AM COMPLETELY DEBT FREE… I owe nobody nothing” THAT will make me very happy. All the more motivation to keep on budget and not change anything when it comes to debt repayment.
