Keep going like that and you'll have the credit card debt gone in a year. I know your husband won't be getting a bonus every three months, but eat lots of rice and beans and put every penny you have towards your debts, and you'll be surprised how fast it goes away.

I guess I should have clarified what happened with the overdrafts. I got over zealous paying my bills earlier than necessary. I actually forgot about my automatic withdrawal for my mortgage payment $1,751. I've learned my lesson, I promise! Jim - Yes the truck interest rate was 6.9%. Thanks everyone!

If it wasn't then I would have yell at you for making the wrong move. I wouldn't sweat a 3k setback, you're at least paying attention to this whole money thing now. Like other comments I would go backtrack what might have caused the checks to go bounce. Speaking from personal experience it's easy to avoid the problem if you pad the checking account by 1k. You'll get through this don't stress over it. The interest rate on the truck was higher than 3.9% right? If it wasn’t then I would have yell at you for making the wrong move.

I know that your husband got big bonus and you put that money towards the truck right? So I assume that most of that 12,000 you paid down is coming from yoru husband's check, am I right? If thats the case you need to reevalute your spending behaviour again :( My big concern is I wonder why did you become short on your checking account?
