The increase to my total of about $11,000 is from the capitalized interest on my student loans. It made me generally insane for a day or two, but now it is just another ass to kick in the world of my unsecured debt.
I am most excited that my credit card debt is rapidly shrinking. Goodbye Citibank! (I called and confirmed that they were closed, and that I am on their do not call and mail lists, just in case they get any stupid ideas in their head to contact me in the future – like we're friends or something.)
Due to Crazy's Kill Discover campaign, that balance is now below $10,000 and will continue to shrink as I get more aggressive with them over the next several months. So aggressive that they will die. (Sorry Discover. I don't hate you like I hated Citibank. But you're next on the list.)
We also haven't talked about the total in savings for a while. My Beloved Orange Dot currently has $1,824.10. I also have $100 in a Sharebuilder account. I've decided that I will be using my ING Checking account for business related stuff, so I am going to transfer any amounts I made from ad revenues.
The March update seems grim due to the increase in the student loan debt, but I am perfectly fine. No crazier than usual. My primary goal is to get my credit cards paid off first, then my Grandfather. That hasn't changed.
