The paydown begins now

March 1st, 2011 at 02:47 pm

Well I did it, I put in an extra large payment for my mortgage this month. That dropped what I owe from $19k to $16.3k. When adding that payment to all my other bills, my outflow for the month was probably $750 more than my inflow. If I get my tax refund in the coming weeks, even with another large mtg. payment, my cashflow should probably be positive for March which would be nice (to put it mildly).

Other tidbits...

I get to enjoy having surgery next week to remove a cyst on my back (yuck). Needs to be done, I wonder how bad I'm going to feel after this Frown.

I signed up for the discounted 3 months of eHarmony. My "matches" so far seem to be an interesting group. While I don't say "OMG" when I read too many of them, I have to wonder what I said that makes them think these are good matches. Do they let me review my survey answers? I need to check. I love how they recommend that you write to everyone - that its a matter of numbers. I understand the logic behind that, but still... doing that would just make me feel desperate. Perhaps my attitude will change with time.

And life goes on...

    Congrats on the mortgage paydown. And good luck on eHarmony. I've known at least two friends meet their significant others on dating sites. They have had long term relationships, too! Smile

    You paid off $2700 of mortgage principal! Six more payments like that and your mortgage will be all gone.

    Best of luck to you with your surgery.

    And best of luck with eHarmony too! Personally, I would not write to someone if I knew I had no interest. Why waste everyone's time?

    I had a cyst removed from my back not too long ago, but mine had become infected (yuck) so it was a little more intensive an operation than I had hoped. Still, the surgeon did a great job, it was a day procedure, it healed up nicely and didn't lead to any problem. I'm living overseas, but even without the national insurance the cost was quite reasonable. I hope yours goes smoothly!
