Working With Microsoft Money and Paying Bills
I downloaded the trial version of Microsoft Money Advanced. I'm a little lost, but I'll keep working on it. I really don't have anything else to report on that, except that I'm still working on it.
So. 
I did some hand calculations (actually I used Excel), and I've decided to pay off the car before the CCs. My car has a monstrous interest rate, and since I'm already paying a lot on it, I can get it paid quickly. Even taking into account a few stumbles, I should be able to have the car paid off in September--October the latest.
Above is my cost comparison of CAR vs CC payment. It's really obscure, but the PURPLE is how much "free" money I can leverage if I pay towards the car vs paying towards the GREEN credit cards. This is taking into account some money I should be seeing, which I'm not going to explain now. I can leverage more money, faster, if I get the car paid off. Then I can attack the CC with a veracious appetite.
I know that conventional wisdom says to get the CCs first, but I'm not going to listen. Sorry.
