Part time job

So I have 43,000 in debt. My car payment is 578. I just got a part time job to help pay off my debt. I'm so excited. Can not wait to be debt free. My house hold income will be about 74000 with the part time. We need about 40,000 a year to leave off of (daycare). So I will pay off the debt in about a year and half or so. After that I plan to save for a house and invest so I can retire with a good 401k. Also plan to invest in mutual funds and open a Roth IRA for DH (his job doesn't offer 401K). So wish me luck. I actually will enjoy my part time job. It's in the CC dept granting credit to people. Basically were you call when you want a credit line increase or the stores calling because some one applied for a cc. I love the rush of apping so now I get to do it as a job. Yei!

Re: Part time job

Good job in trying to pay off your debt! And kudo to you on getting a second job to pay your debt! I am currently focusing on paying off my debt as well. I was stupid to let myself in so much debt - now only 16k left. I drive uber now and paying somewhere between $5000-6000 a month toward credit cards. I can't wait to be debt free. I am happily paying even though i can't save money now. Good luck to you and hope we can pay off the debt as soon as possible and be DEBT FREE !

Wow that's awesome OP! I HATE debt and I imagine you do too.

How did you get that part time gig? Can you work from home?!
