We sold the car! $1500 more towards paying off our credit card

We finally sold the Volvo wagon yesterday, after a harrowing two days of last-minute fixes. I cracked the valve cover trying to change the valve cover gasket (gasket = .01 pounds of rubber and cardboard, valve cover = 2 lbs of metal). Luckily I found a used one, flirted with the guy at the counter and he gave me the cover for $10 instead of the $45 quoted price. Sometimes it pays to be a female who fixes cars... (not usually, though, just for the record).

So, we got $2100 for the car, and I used most of the money to pay off bills, although we've earmarked $150 for a good tune-up on our remaining car, and we are putting $1500 on credit cards.

Debt snowball, here we come!
