Comments on: Only Paying the Minimum, Sucker? http://gailvazoxlade.com/blog/archives/116 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:25:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ajana http://gailvazoxlade.com/blog/archives/116/comment-page-1#comment-959 Ajana Fri, 09 May 2008 01:55:55 +0000 http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/blog/?p=116#comment-959 Another piece of Gail's advice that I have listened to and taken action on. I increased my monthly payments to as much as I can afford while still saving a little something. Instead of taking 28 months to pay off my credit card debt, I will now take 20 months. Yes! I'll be completely debt free by Christmas 2009! (Or a little earlier if my search for a new job is successful.) Thanks Gail for showing me the light! LOL!

That's one thing that always freaks me out about my sister's view of money... " You can easily afford the minimum payments on that! You should buy it!" In my head I am doing up the math as fast as I can about what it will REALLY cost out of my family income and I shudder.... (X) amount over (Y) number of payments .... !!!! Aaack! That's no bargain!
