Update: Looks like the Flash chart didn’t load properly at first- should be corrected now.

Now that I’m 1 year into the blog, I’d like to get back to tracking my credit card debt payoff progress monthly. Included below is a chart of the progress I have made.

The good news is that I have paid off $11,221 of credit card debt over the past year. The bad news is that my progress slowed down greatly over the past 6 months and my average paid off per month is only $863. Toward the end of 2007 and early 2008 I was typically paying off between one and two thousand per month.

Basically, my spending has crept back up over the past 6 months and I just haven’t been as tight with the budget as I was at the beginning. I’m working to get my spending back in line now and hoping to get closer to the $2,000 per month of extra payments range going forward.
