Hi!
I had a tiny Disney update today so figured I'd post.
It's a bit on the chilly side today, and we went grocery shopping. There was some charity guy outside with a boombox playing slightly cheesy instrumental music. As we walked into the store, E commented that it felt like (early morning in) Disneyland. Sniffle sniffle, it sure did!
So today E and I are all bummed that we're not there, though my rational mind says "yeah...it's not nice and chilly and overcast in Anaheim today, I'm sure of THAT!"
Along with the CC, we did get the zero balance for the ancient bill. Paid the two NDs and they've cashed the checks. About to pay off something else. That will leave some heavy work on the car loan...this month I did an electronic payment through our credit union, instead of letting Robert do it through the loan (Chase) site...R always forgets and then it takes 2 days (they don't ding you with a fee during that "grace" period, but you DO pay interest). This time I paid so it was there on the 30th, and it's AMAZING the difference in interest that was allocated in the payment. We have sick and wrong interest on that car loan, they've refused to refinance it, so to see how much more principal we paid just by getting it in 2 days before it was due, vs 2-as much as 8 days after the due date, was eye-opening.
Hmm, wonder what would happen, interest vs principal wise, if I paid it as soon as the bill is "live" on the site instead of waiting 3 weeks to the due date?
