What one bill under 2000 would you pay off right now if you could? |
|
I have a Credit Card that is 1800
I saw this idea in a REader's Digest. A church paid off everyone of their member's bills using this method.
I think we ought to create a pool if everyone donated say $10 bucks to start, we build a huge pot of money. Next each of us picks one bill under 2000 we would like paid off. We calculate our total and pay off each bill from least owed to most
Only those that donated could get a bill paid off...
then the next month whomever gets the bill paid off, they send the minimum payment to the pool. After that, they are paid up.
what do ya think???

1. I have a ghetto mastercard for $500... |
|
One of those you have to pay $59 to start, then they only give you x amount of credit because you're high risk ...
So many other things keep popping up that are higher priority than payign that sucker off, so I just keep ignoring it.

I'm getting tired of chopping wood for heat at home, and I'd love to be able to watch the 6PM news again.

7. yea, my hubby and I owe 30000+ in student loans |
|
we were young, stupid and had a daughter.
but I would love for all of us to pay off our credit cards so the saudi's would no longer have our money and we would be credit card debt free when the bushy economy dives

going to be debt free in 7 years and that includes our house that is on year 4 of a 30 year note
I put the bills in order by payoff ...lowest to highest then added an additional 300 roleup.
example
healthclub owe 800 pay 87 add rollup 300 = 387 two months pay off..
then on to the next bill... but this time say it was a credit card
creditcard owe 1800 pay 100 add rollup 387 = 487
ect
but I would LOVE to get rid of that stupid credit card that the saudi's own
