Another Payday Another Paydown

Today is J's payday.  It's funny, with me being on vacation, the last payday occurred when I was on my way up to Canada.  It doesn't seem that long ago, but here we are, another two weeks have passed!

Today, I have made payments to J's Navy Federal Visa and Mastercard for $1000 each, and to my Navy Federal Visa and Mastercard for $500 each.  For a total of $3000 paid down.  It won't be long before these are long gone too!

I was going to make higher payments, but I'm waiting to see if there is something that I have forgotten.  I guess because I wasn't spending the money in the account when I was in Canada I ended up having more in there than I normally would (groceries, gas, etc).

I will most likely make a deposit to my Canadian credit cards to pay what I used while I was up there.  One benefit of having my Canadian CCs...I don't have to pay the conversion rate when I use them!

Tomorrow will be my pay day, but so far all that I need to pay from it is my MBNA CC which depending on the conversion rate from the bank, should be $950.

On the Credit Score update, my Equifax score changed when I was in Canada from 668 to 684!  I beat J lol.  Although when our reports update with the changes in utilization to his Navy Federal CCs (should be $5000 difference between the two) his Equifax will probably skyrocket....well that's what I'm hoping anyway :)

Tuesday and Wednesday were No Spends for me, today and tomorrow will be another.  It's pretty bad that when I was on vacation I only had 3 No Spends out of the 12 days I was up there.  That's ok, still have half of the month to make my goal of 15 or else Rafiki over at Upendilife will definitely let me have it! :)

Hope your week has been good, cannot wait for the weekend!

You betcha I'm holding you to 15. Actually I'm a write it here before I post it on my blog but I think I might try for a full 7 next week.

I see you are hitting a lot of them with big payments at the same time, I like that move.

Also congrats on the lead with the credit score but I wonder how long it will last.

and thanks for the link :)

My name is Fajar. I live in  Bedono in Central Java   I was in a very chronic financial issue and terminal health situation some few weeks back. After all my search for assistance from friends and neighbors proved abortive, I feel there was no one who truly cares. I became so exhausted due to lack of funds to expand my business and my 2 kids aged 5 and 8 were also not good looking due to lack of proper care as a result of finance. One faithful morning I saw an old time friend of my late husband and I told him all I have been going through and he said the only way he could help was to direct me to a good loan officer in USA that also helped him, He explained to me on how he was financially down and how he got boosted by this loan officer ( Mr Pedro   who grant him 7,000,000.00 USD loan at an affordable rate of 2% rate . He further assured me that they were the only legit loan firm he found online. He gave me their email &  That was how i applied and was also granted a loan and my life changed for the good. CONTACT THE ONLY GENUINE LENDER Mr Pedro VIA    Email /  Whatsapp +18632310632   pedroloanss@gmail.com  to resolve your financial mess.
