Well I got my first paycheck, but I entered the new job in the middle of their pay period, so my paycheck isn’t a “full” paycheck. That’s fine and I’ll make due, but I was really looking forward to putting a little of the added money from my new pay towards my debt.

In other news, stocks have started going up and some of the “bargains” that I mentioned earlier have been doing very well for me. Again, I’ve only been investing very small amounts each month – so all and all it’s not much, but I’m glad I did it.

And so it my net worth, ‘cause it’s gotten a little bit better. Once the checks even out and I start aggressively paying down the debt again it should get back to zero even faster.

But I really just have to keep telling myself that it’s not a net worth race at this point. That’s just a good way to track progress. The goal is still the erasing of all my credit card debt – and I haven’t been doing as much as I would like to lately. Still, I’m encouraged by the overall progress. If you would have asked me before I ran the numbers, I wouldn’t have thought I had made any progress this past month.
