Small bits add up April 25, 2006
Posted by irishmadness in Credit cards, Saving.trackback
The rest of my state tax refund arrived yesterday - $41.66. I also rolled $10 in quarters, $5 in dimes and another $1 in pennies. That brings my “found money” stash to $62.16, and I have until the last week in May to continue to add to that. I’m hoping to get at least $100 for an extra payment on my card. If nothing else, it will cover the interest for the month so all my weekly payments can go to paying off the balance. I’m toying with the idea of making a deposit this week of that money so I can get it on my card sooner, rather than waiting the few weeks and making a larger deposit. Thoughts?
I’m also waiting to hear back from my parks and rec contact about my class to see if I’ll get an extra payment from that. That probably wouldn’t come until early June, though.
I’m also looking for suggestions on ways to “find” money for extra payments. Not recurring sources, like dropping cable (did that two weeks ago), but the dollar-here, dollar-there type. If you have any useful tips to share, leave them in comments so we all can benefit.
