I found a pretty good Debt Snowball Spreadsheet.

You have to have Excel on your computer to run it.

http://www.download.com/Debt-Reduction-Calculator-for-Excel/3000-2057_4-10770226.html?part=dl-DebtReduc&cdlPid=10770227


A debt snowball means that you pay the minimum amount on each bill except the ones with the highest priority. Each time you pay off a bill, you take the amount you paid on it and apply it to the next bill on your list the following month.

The common belief is that you should attempt to pay off the debts with the highest interest rate first so that you end up spending more on the principal than on interest. Some people, such as Dave Ramsey suggest you pay the debt with the smallest balance first because of the emotional factor; as the smaller bills disappear, you get a feeling of accomplishment that will keep you motivated.

This calculator allows you to enter up to 20 different debts with their associated APRs, and the total amount you want to spend per month servicing your debts, and it'll work out the order in which you should pay them together with the monthly payments.

If you're considering a consolidation loan, think carefully about it. It's almost always cheaper to snowball your debts, and often people who consolidate their debts end up in more debt because they haven't addressed the main issue: when money comes easy; it goes easy. The real problem with debt is our spending habits.

What it means to be a part of IAM Local 735

I’d like to offer a place for people to tell their stories about what the Union means to each of us. TS1 has a really good story about an experience she had with the IAM Union Family on her blog. I’d like to invite others to tell their stories too by commenting on this blog. You can read her story by going to http://ts1blog.blogspot.com

Free credit report(s)

For those of you who don’t know this, you can get a free credit report every year by going to www.annualcreditreport.com. You actually get 3 reports because there are 3 reporting agencies and you get a free report from each of them, each year. When you get to the part of the application where you select which reporting agency you want to use; just select one of the 3. You can select all 3 at once and get all 3 at once if you want to or you can stagger the reports by only selecting one and then come back, say, like, 4 months later and select a free report from another reporting agency and then select the 3rd agency 4 months after that. That way you are actually getting 3 reports a year and you are getting a new report every 4 months.

Specific Request

There has been a specific request for:

size T2 and T3 winter shirts and bed clothes for a 2 year old girl
and size 12 jeans for a 10 year old boy

Items can be taken to the union hall

Kicking this thing off

I think the first thing to say here is that part of sticking together is giving each other a hand. When you reach out for a hand it needs to be your Union Brothers and Sisters who come to your side. Some have pledged their first Strike Benefit Check to kick this thing off. There is food at the Union Hall and there are jobs out there and this is a great place to post those jobs. It may be a while before Management comes to their senses. In the mean time, lets hunker down; get a part time job, defer what payments you can, cut back on your budget and help your Union Brothers and Sister as much as you can.

Thank you,
