I’ve been following Joe’s House Pay-Off Spectacular and recently had the chance to attend his FInancial Learning Experience workshop.  I’ve been committed to becoming debt free for a while, but never really tracked my progress.  Joe inspired me to do so.

I can’t believe how much time I spent in Photoshop last night playing with an outline of a house.  I also couldn’t believe how close I actually am.  This is awesome!

I have a little twist on Joe’s pay-off spectacular because I have some cash in savings that I am willing to apply to the mortgage once it get’s low enough.  So, I’ve used two colors.  The green is principal paid on the mortgage, the pink is available savings I’m willing to commit to the mortgage, and the white is unpaid.  Basically, once the green and pink meet, all the pink will be converted to green.

Maybe I’m a geek for thinking this is fun, but I’m enjoying it.  I’ll post a monthly update until I’m all green.
