April 2005 Status Report

Ted 

I’ve been putting this off all day because I had a feeling that my actual credit card debt may have increased this month.

Gold Visa One
Balance $5,519 (last month$ 5,236)
Interest Paid $88

Gold Card Two
Balance $13,652 (last month $13,258)
Interest Paid $216

Standard Visa
Balance $2,819 (last month$2780)
Interest Paid $39

Grand Totals
Balance (at the end of April) $21,990
Total Interest Paid (for April) $343

So on the face of it my credit card balance has increased $716, though $343 of this is interest. I know why this is, and I won’t be able to do anything about it for a week or two. When I made my last status report I had gone and paid all my spare cash off my credit cards just before writing the report. My only frivilous expenditure was $199 for a mobile phone.

As I’m looking at moving soon, I’ve had to hold onto my cash to use for bond and rent, and until I find a place to live I won’t know exactly how much that is.

Though by the middle of the month I should be able to pay atleast $500 off my cards, if not more. Though I expected an increase on my balance I wasn’t expecting it to be so much.

For May there is nothing I need to buy but I am expecting to pay for phone and power for the place I am currently house sitting.

I’m predicting a small credit card balance decrease for May, stay tuned to find out.
