THANK YOU! The devil is always in the details and your article has helped me to really be motivated on my debt free project. Just to give you a 50K overview..I am 66 and we purchased a house about 3 years ago and moved to the mountains – along way out in the country. The company I worked for (from home) went bankrupt and I got behind on my mortgage..so I went for a modification. The payment did come down but they put us on a FORTY YEAR mortgage. I would be 106 when it is paid off…but with a good debt reduction plan…it will be paid off in less than 10 years…or sooner with snowflakes!!!

@ “I’ve had one (credit card account) that I could make as many payments as I wanted (CapitalOne) and one that I am limited to 4 payments per billing cycle (Citi).”

Strictly speaking, this is most likely a cap on electronic payments that you have them initiate through their own website. It’s very unlikely (and probably illegal) for a credit card company to put a cap on how many times you pay them electronically if you originate the payment from your own checking account.

I don’t know how I missed this post the first time around (found the link on http://www.GreenPandaTreehouse.com.) Just wanted to let you know how much I like this concept. It is simple and so easy to visualize. Almost makes saving money a zen-like experience. Thanks!
