Bonus Application and Update...

I am moving right along through February.

I paid off the credit card I was using the last few months which was right around $5k so all I have left is the $20k card that I have been paying off for a few years now. I can't wait for that card to go away too! I did transfer it back to Chase for a 1% transfer fee and 1.99% interest rate until April of 2013. With my bonus, I paid off the $5k card, replenished my Efund and put the remaining $3k into savings for health/auto expenses. My car needs some work and I may need surgery this year so that money is already earmarked.

I did a real estate closing on Friday and scored $400 in business income. Not bad. My legal/business expenses each year total approximately $2,600 and it includes primarily my attorney registration, state annual filings, professional liability insurance and email/fax service. I tend to have to pay for it out of pocket because I don't have much time to do legal work so I am excited that I did some work to offset those expenses. Yeah Chitown! I am entertaining more calls and legal opportunities so I can put this law degree to use. 

That's about it for now folks. I went skiing with my family on Saturday and that was a lot of fun. Work is super busy right now so I have to stay focused to meet some deadlines. I am still exercising and bringing my lunch more often. I will start running again in March. All is well on my end!!! Wishing you all a great week!!! =)
