Mike’s New Car Challenge Update – July 14-27

A quick update today on the new car challenge…

I completely forgot my update last week. Sorry about that. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, with family from out of state staying at our house and all. I’ll do my best to keep up with the weekly updates from here on out… but things do slip my mind occasionally.

Ok, as of the last update, I was at $2152, quite a bit short of my $13,500 goal.

Thankfully, between consulting projects, freelancing and affiliate payments, I was able to cover a lot of ground in the last two weeks. I even received a couple of “where the hell did *that* come from” checks from affiliate programs I’d long since forgotten about.

The result? I’ve chucked $2207 more toward the 2010 Honda Fit. That brings us to a total of $4,359, with about 13 weeks left to go. So I need to put back another $9,141 to meet my goal. But at least my late nights and long work hours have put me back on pace to buy a 2010 Honda Fit with cash in mid-November.
