Weekend Update

Number of expenses in the past week:
$50 - eating out
$25 - movies (Tron and 7 movies from a going out of biz Blockbuster store)
$15 - muffins and coffee
$60 - curtains for apt.
$25 - groceries 

Yea much money has been wasted. Though some was essential.

Some more information about myself -
30something working at the financial aid office of a US law school. North of Virginia. I don't want to say too much. Joe from Debtor in Paradise gave out far too much information and it was pretty easy to figure out his real name. So I won't be making that mistake.

Some debts:
9k 2007 Toyota Corolla. 74k miles. Nothing fancy. Green. Pretty utilitarian. Haven't had any problems with it so far and just have spent on normal maintenance. (60k check, tires, painting some scrapes)

75k student loans. undergrad plus law school. Not cheap. Entering into IBR this month and as I work in a law school I should have debt forgiven in 10 years.

1200. Credit card (Visa). Limit is 1600. Not using the card and slowly paying it down.

80,000. Mortgage for a condo I don't live in and can't afford. This is the biggest problem. Short sale underway but moving oh so slowly. Foreclosure coming soon.

4000. IRS. 2009 taxes. Agreement with IRS made and paying down rapidly (400 a month). A problem but going away.

~7000. 270 a month. Mother's car payment. Retired and I am paying for it. Under 2  years left. Will try to focus this down when there is only one year left. Perhaps can combine money with my mother to focus it down.

Those are the big expenses. Several other little ones are bouncing around. Comcast, Verizon, HOA on said condo, and probably something I am leaving out. Added it all up. About 185k total. Wow. Although if I remove the mortgage not so bad. Within the next year taxes, Visa and maybe mother's car should be paid off. Trainwreck? Anyone?
