Today was payday for the hub and I. I decided to move money from ING.... *ugh* I mean Capital One, to go ahead and payoff CC#2 today. I will transfer that money back to Capital One on the 8th and save whatever interest would have accumulated on the debt. I updated the sidebar. Total debt payoff in Feb is an all time one-month record for us... $11,264!!
I am eager to see what all of this does to our credit scores!
Now, on to cc#3!
The investment counselor gave me a to-do list before our meeting. I need to get the hubs most recent pension projection, our social security statements, current 401k information and investment options, and an idea of what our tax advisor suggests for Roth vs Traditional as far as tax bracket calcs.
The hub will be going to see our accountant while he is home to get our taxes done. Last year, we received a good sized refund- I anticipate that being the case again- potentially even more, since the hub was in Alaska more than half time and may not have to pay Oregon taxes??? Not sure, but I am eager to find out. I didnt calculate a refund into the debt payments, so whatever we get will go towards cc#3.
Tonight is my date night with my oldest GS (8). He is my carnivore who will want steak for dinner..so today will not be a no-spender.
A week from today we leave for our Cali/Disney trip. So much to do between now and then!!!
Buh-bye cc#2 (and good-riddance!)

I'd like to send my DH and/or my dad to Alaska.

There are pros and cons to Alaska slope employment, but the pay is definately one of the pros- for us, it outweighs by far any of the cons...but its not for everyone. There are jobs up there to be had, however, especially during the winter months.
Thanks everyone. I am pretty excited with our progress so far. Definately have a new bounce in my step!!!!
