Financial Situation Charts Back

Uncategorized March 29th, 2008

I’ve finally widgetized my charts plug-in, thus allowing charts to appear in the sidebar.

During final testing, I noticed that I had my Assets and Liabilities charts swapped around in their respective pages, which is now fixed.  The sidebar charts have links to their respective pages, so you can see them bigger.

I am declaring the current version 0.4a and feel that I am approaching a releasable version.  As of right now, a release version will only occur if the following items are met:

  • PHP chart source pages don’t have to specify the charts include (XML/SWF chart sources work, but are a real pain to write compared to PHP).
  • Default size as option.
  • Chart background color and transparency controllable with default options.
  • All attributes require quotes.

Of All the tasks, the most difficult will be the first.  I look forward to the day this plug-in gets released.

Transferring Debt = Progress

Budgeting, Credit Cards, Goals, Understanding March 26th, 2008

At least for those of us who truly want to get out of debt.

I just received notice from my highest interest card that a substantial portion of the balance was just paid, thanks to successfully opening another card with a VERY LOW fixed rate for transfers. The high rate was 24%, the new rate for that portion of my debt is now under 3% (better than a personal or consolidation loan).

The only unfortunate part is that the new card posted the transfer on the closing date of my March billing cycle, so I have to make the first payment in April, instead of the planned extra amount to finish off the high rate card in April (maybe I’ll transfer the rest, since both cards have the same limit).

Regardless, I am psyched about the increased speed this presents.

Oh, by the way, I have an interview in half an hour (heading out the door now) and another interview tomorrow at 8 AM… Wish me luck!!!
