To help keep my on track with my debt elimination progress, I have joined Melissa at Mom's Plans in her Debt Snowflake Challenge. To the best of my ability, I will update my own debt snowflake progress every Friday.
Our Progress: Slow and steady wins the race. That is what I am going with anyway. Yesterday I did get a payment from Amazon for $37.00 for sale of several make up items.
To tell you the truth, I forgot all about the items I had listed on Amazon, so it was a pleasant surprise to say the least. I listed a few more items today on Amazon (Christmas CD's) and hope for a quick sale.
The items I listed on Craigslist have not produced any interest yet. Actually these vintage Christmas items would probably do better on Ebay, but I will wait until I get back to my home before I start Ebaying again.
There is some advertising that I accepted this week. The funds have not yet been released yet, so that will help this month's totals.
Total SnowFlakes for January (so far):
Loose Change: $47.00
Virtual Asst. : $10.00
Amazon: $37.00
$94.00
Debt Update will be at the end of the month. I still use my credit card for my mom and dad's purchases and they pay reimburse me once a month. Upside to this: I am using my Marriott Rewards card, so more points. Downside to this: The card is still in my wallet.

Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job! Have a great week! See you next Friday! I had to use a credit card last weekend until funds were transfered. It made me sick to have to swipe it. I got the money put right back first thing Monday! When I put it back in its "dark whole" in which it belongs, I stuck my tongue out at it. I'm a nut but I felt it needed to know that I was in charge! LOL
I think it's ok to have the card in your wallet as long as you control the usage and get benefit from the points. I use my mastercard for all of my purchases in order to get the points. I keep the receipts and go right home and make a payment. Have never paid a penny in interest but have received hundreds of dollars in points that I can use for groceries. Love it.
Great job! We're saving up loose change for my Hubby's trip to Swaziland in August. I hope ours adds up quick!
Great Job!!! We sold some text books on Amazon this week and it was nice to get that bit of money :)
Great job Lisa :)
Nice work, every little bit counts! It may be tough to sell those Christmas items since the season has already past, but if you are not in a rush to sell them then you can hold out for a decent price.
Nice job! Even if you have small snowflakes, they all add up to a large amount by the end of the month.
Hi Melissa,
I think the end of the month is going to be better than the first of the month advertising wise. :)
Hi Net Worth,
Very true about the Christmas items.... but you never know. I have nothing but time.
Thanks Laura!
Hi Judy!
Amazon makes it so easy to sell,don't they? Hope all your books sell soon!
Hi Pam,
Swaziland sounds like an interesting trip! I hope your changes adds up quickly too!
HI Jane,
Yep, it is the control of usage that can be a bit of a problem.:) I have done worse, definitely!
Hi Debby,
Yep, the dreaded credit card can be both a blessing and a curse. :) Sticking your tongue out is a form control... I like it! :)
Thanks Michelle!
Good job, Lisa!!! :) They add up don't they?!
Hmm. I keep forgetting about Amazon. We have lots of clutter to get rid of and assume eBay is the only way. Thanks for the (unwitting) reminder!
Actually, Amazon is a bet easier to sell on. Good Luck!
A little at a time, yes they do.
