DONE!! 1) Purchase a used car with saved funds and tax refund by the end of February.

2)Pay down balance on cc #1 to $2000.00 by December 31st. Current balance is over $4,000, so I have a ways to go.

3) Continue to eat super healthy by growing some of my own food and buy some at the farmer’s market and stores.

4) Contribute any coupon or sales savings to credit card payoff. This is a money game I play.

5) I will also contribute any funds I get from rebates to credit card payoff also.

Hey, everyone.

I finally got my tax refund on Tuesday.

Today, I bought a 2007 Chevrolet Impala with cash. I have not had a car in such good condition in years. I had this car fully checked out by mechanics and it passed completely with a couple of minor exceptions that are easily fixed. It needs new brakes and new windshield, mostly. The rest is just basic maintenance stuff. I am so relieved and proud to have accomplished this goal. It's good thing I found a car in such good shape, because my old car no longer starts as of yesterday.
