Look at the car loan! It's getting down close to $1000! We should have it paid off by February! Then our plan is to start saving that money to replace the van.

I am getting pretty frustrated with one of the credit card creditors. We've been sending them payments for months. Every month, I request an updated balance and they have yet to reply, but they sure cash those checks! I am hoping to be able to call them today during naptime and talk to someone. The other ones (with the exception of #4 who stopped charging us interest and fees when we started the payment arrangement) are just kind of holding steady and not really gaining ground. But now that we've been paying on them for several months, I plan to get in touch with them and request they lower or drop the fees so they don't keep accumulating. As of this month (once we send in all the payments), we'll have made 6 payments in a row on them. So maybe that will help them work with us.
