I created a virtual money jar using excel spread sheet. I enter amounts saved, found, not spent on a daily basis.

Any daily savings will be recorded into this location, and on a weekly basis I will move the comparable amount of "real" money from my checking account to make payments on my CC balance.

Since I have online access to my CC and can schedule online payments, I will make extra payments from my virtual money jar weekly totals.

This will keep me "actively" pursuing my goal to retire CC debt by end of 2006.

Today's VMJ total was $3.75.

I have three active CC's with a combined balance total of $3352.

My goal is to pay off the Total balance by Dec 2006, or earlier.

Today, paid an extra $100.00 to the highest CC balance / APR.
