Let's get the bad news out of the way: we increased our debt for the second quarter in a row. We're another $688 higher than we were last quarter. The good news is: that's all we increased despite having over $2,300 in medical bills this past quarter. If I'm trying to see the glass half full, it's also good that all of the medical debt we've added over the last quarter is interest free and is in the process of being consolidated into one low monthly payment.

Other good news, we've finally got some cash in savings, some of which is "emergency" and some of which is being set aside for our car insurance payment. Barring any major unforeseen events, I am hopeful that the coming quarter we will finally start making a dent in debt again as well as finally get our emergency fund back up to $1000.
