Paid off credit card #1 and should be able to pay off credit card #2 in full by the end of this month.
Have also put together a emergency account with $5500 for me and the girlfriend.

And going to start contributing the max to my 401k as of next pay period.

Feels good; still have a ways to go.

I still have a $20k student loan, and a car loan on top of those - but the revolving credit is #1 for me to knock out. Then I'm going to start throwing massive funds at the others.

Credit card #1 from 5800 to 900 balance with the remainder getting knocked out on Friday. (Normally paid off monthly; but engagement + vacation put a bigger dent in this)
Credit card #2 still carrying a 0 balance.
Line of credit balance 2900 to 1300 balance with a limit increase to 5000 (only bumped for credit score purposes)
$25k home equity loan 100% paid off.


Fiancee and myself fully moved to a joint checking account; over 10k in joint savings + $1800/mo going to savings via direct deposit. (Wiped out a chunk of savings to nix the above debts, oh well)
Fiancee was awarded a 20k bonus that is to be paid in September; will be going mostly to savings.

Credit score from 690 to 750 as of last check in.

Pretty pleased with where things stand.

Sold our house for a hefty profit. Paid off 100% of our debt, doubled our emergency fund, and put the into money down on a nicer, bigger house with better schools, and a lower PITI payment.

:woop:

Thanks DC, fast appreciation, terrible schools!
