Things I could spend my stupid debt payments on:

March 4th, 2007 at 07:18 pm

If I paid $315 extra each month on my mortgage, my mortgage would me paid off 15 years earlier.

If I put $315 each month into savings I would have $12600 saved after 40 months - not including interest.

I would be able to afford both my kids going into braces at the same time.

I would be able to save for a cruise - something I've always wanted to do.

    Never really put my debt into those terms before. Not specifically. What an eye opener! Thanks for the idea. Makes me more determined.

    That is interesting, thanks for the idea too. Someday, you will be able to do those things. Just save a little at a time!!

    Have you thought about a flexible savings account for this?

    Hi,

    Flexible accounts save you tax dollars. I sat in on a couple of the classes. You have to put money in them up front in order to save on taxes in the end. I don't have the up front money to spare. Anyway, my company only does open enrollment once a year. The enrollment period ended in November.

    It was still a very good suggestion.
