Happy Dance

Who'd have thought I'd get this excited (or stressed) over $60? I just received a small bonus at work and now have to figure out how to spend it. I'm torn between wanting to go out and blow it on something fun that I have no need for, or actually applying it to my law loans and my IRA like I promised myself I would do with any bonuses I get. I know it should go where I planned it to, but it's only $60. The $30 that would make it to my loans is less than 10% of a monthly payment. It doesn't feel like it's worth it. It's a materialistic world out there and I want to have STUFF! Right now I have lots of DEBT. But DEBT is not really STUFF. Any one out there wanna trade your stuff for my debt? And if so, I know a bridge you could buy....

For Pete's sake send it to the debt woman! It WILL save you on interest and it will help you get into the habits and mindset that will guarantee success in your race against debt!

here's another option. Sometimes when were all debt paydown, we do need to treat ourselves.

so take 20 and spend it

take 20 to retirement

and take 20 to student loan of highest interest.
