Revolution Post - Month One Down

Hey Everyone! Soooooo 1 month down and we are off to a pretty darn good start.  As you can see in the first month we were able to get rid of 6.5% of our debt! WooHoo!  You know what else is awesome....the fact that it is this month and we get to pay off a credit card this month!

So, I have been looking around the net and ran in to this awesome website that is also challenging its readers to go Debt Free in 2011!  Click here to read all about it.   They are already on Week 5 I believe but that is okay.  They offer a couple of worksheets to help everyone become debt free. 

I am going to stick with how I am doing mine right now, because I already started and it seems to be working for us.  However, I found the website had a TON of usuful information.  They are always updating with free deals and coupons and such!!  So, check it out. 

Meanwhile, we are continuing to pay down debts and this month I think we are filing out TAXES which is great, because we are going to pay off 2 items not included in the overall debt... YAY!!

Hope there are some of you out there jumping on the bandwagon with me!

Jacksons & Benjamins Ahoy!

Revolution Post-Figuring out what I've Got

Ok for the first step of this revolution is to sit down and figure out what I've got to get rid of.

So I have four credit cards totallying a whopping $13,126.23.

I found this awesome website that offers a debt calculator that allows you to figure out how much debt you have and helps you determine the information you need to know about it, like how long it will take to you pay it off, how much interest you will be paying, and how much you need to pay each month to pay it off in a certain time.

So here is where I put in all my credit card information.  The second step is to choose the plan you want to do with the information.  There are 3 options: Minimum Payments, Fixed-Payments, & Debt-Free Deadline.  I will be choosing the Debt-Free Deadline of 1 year 6 months.

Here is what my pie chart comes out to looking like:

If you look on the top of the page, I have replaced my weightloss ticker (from tickerfactory.com) with a new debt-ticker (also from tickerfactory.com).  Each time I pay one of these credit cards I will update the ticker so I can watch how I am progressing towards my goal!

Here is to becoming Debt-Free in 2011 (and part of 2012...hahahaha)!

A New Year, A New Revolution

Hi Everyone!  Okay, so one year ago today I began a weightloss revolution.  I lost 26.4 lbs this past year....not all of what I wanted to loose but a majority of it.  I think I have to say that last years revolution was a success.  This year I am still going to try to shed that last 10 lbs but I am not going to stress over it this year.

You can go back to here to see the program I did.

&& You can go back here to see the finish of the program.

& Just to recap.  I have not gained or lost any weight since I finished the program!!

So Now what is this years revolution?  Well watch below for your answer.  It's a lot easier to tell you then to type it.  WARNING:  I tend to talk a little too much in these videos!  Also, I was totally driving while fliming!

So here is to a new year & a new revolution!
