Tax refund!

May 11th, 2012 at 12:39 am

I was very surprised to see my tax refund of $908 in my bank account this morning. I transferred most of it to my Visa card, naturally. So my balance is down to $874 - down from over $5K in late December 2011.

I can tell you that I am taking a break in June as soon as this is paid off. Momma needs a new pair of shoes! I've been wearing the same pair for more than 2 years and actually had to duct tape the inside last week. I will likely go out and buy the exact same pair and brand even though they are very expensive. I only have three pairs of shoes - not like it was when I was in my 20's and had purses and shoes in every colour - and matching them as that was the ONLY way to do it at that time.

I can't really express what an amazing sense of relief I feel knowing the Visa will be gone within a few weeks. A huge weight off my shoulders.

    That is great to have made such progress in a short period of time! And new sensible shoes sound like a great way to celebrate.

    Great that you were able to lead your refund into debt payoff, instead of blowing it on things that you really don't need. You deserve some new shoes, anyway. Keeping things going in the right direction offers you some insurance that you're going to be all right in the long run. Nice work!
