Hell yeah. I am going to nail this son-of-a-debt like a Tasmanian Devil in warmode.
Just made an extra transfer which will get my debt under the magical 10K border.
I guess it's all psychological, but with me picking up my new car recently I finally have got the feeling that I'm getting back on top of things. Freeing up another 100 per month, watching my monthly spending go down and down, makes me feel confident about killing this idiot debt.
I just updated my graph on the right which now looks like the coolest thing ever*. And the beauty in it all is there still is money in my savings account and there still is enough money to get through next month anyway. This feels GREAT! Because, I will be done with this debt by the end of MAY next year!! That's in less than a year!

Possessions taking possession of me
Since a while I'm trying to declutter. And guess what... the more I look around me the less I feel like I really need al this stuff.
It doesn't make me any happier at all, it just stands around keeping me from being able to move in a day if I wanted.
I have got no clue where this thought came from, but I think it has everything to do with me trying to let go of my old patterns and me feeling stuck in life and the never ending circle sleep-eat-work-repeat. I was looking for myself in my mindfulness courses the past two years, and all I can see now is all the little patterns that I set up for myself to feel safe or needed or wanted or whatever.
It's time to let go of all of my habits and for some reason owning less and less stuff makes perfect sense to me right now.

Speeding up!
I've got a new goal. I started going through my stuff in june and used the obvious rule:
"Haven't used this item for over six months (or didn't even remember I had it): get rid of it!!". This makes space in both my home and my head. And it puts another dent in my debt since I also managed to sell some items on Craigslist. Still not having sold the e-drums bothers me though, since it's quite some value that's just standing around without any equity. Using that value to decrease my debt (and interest) would be nice. But, still hoping I can make someone happy with it one day.
