I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!I sent $10 off to ING today to add to the EF. It's now at a whopping $52.58. We decided to use the $600 to pay on a credit card, instead of putting it back into the EF. I'm just so tired of the debt. Every payment I make comes just one step closer to bringing down the evil empire.
And if push comes to shove the CC can act as an emergency fund. Though my mother said anything up to $500 she could lend us if it was a minor emergency, with no interest so that is why I feel better about putting that $600 against debt.
I will still continue to send the $10 a week to the EF and any survey money will go there, too.
