Old cable bill 200/200
Hospital 254/339
CC2 754/800
CC3 2250/2250
CC4 3000/ 3000
School (mine) 5245/6000
School (hub) 8,580 /17400
Van 12,500/21,000
House 97,000/99,000
For a total of
I am down a total of $1,151.00 for the month of March.
Trying hard to focus on progress and that whole "eating an elephant slowly" business, but ack. At this rate, it will take way too long.
