So I started my debt reduction program. Since it's tax refund time, that went immediately to paying off the midwife for my new baby's birth, and an older debt, a matress I had bought on credit that was supposed to have been paid off with last year's tax refund.
I haven't actually paid the midwife, though. The other debt was an under $20 medical bill that we just never got around to paying off. But now it is! 2 down, many more to go.
I also got my first ever bonus check from work. I'm happy with it, and it can go to building up savings, because I kinda forgot that step before I paid off the matress (hey, 0 interest for a year with the year about to come up comes first). So, we have the midwife, which is more of a current bill, and then savings. Also going to give some of it away, because it's good to give.
So there's the first step, and the rest will come soon. I can't wait to be debt free!
