Even though our house payoff is on hold…
I came across this cool house payoff chart and am sooo tempted to make one of our own. It’s a floorplan of the person’s house, with the paid off portions colored in. My own chart looks more like a 1st grader’s drawing of a house (a square with a triangle on top) with bricks colored in. The brick method does allow me to see progress, but the floorplan method would allow me to actually visualize owning particular rooms of our house, etc. Very motivating.

Blunt Money,
If you send me a copy of a rough sketch of your house, I will put together your own “Blunt Money House Pay-Off Spectacular”!
Thanks for the link!

I saw that too and thought it was a really awesome idea. I have an actual document of our floorplan filed away somewhere so my plan is to digitize that and start filling it in. Some day when I have free time to kill…

Any thoughts on how to do something similar for a student loan?

Joe, thanks for the offer :)
Tenille, Joe has a variety of charts at http://www.josephsangl.com/?p=442 (including one for student loan payoff.) Or you could do one in the shape of whatever you’re using your degree for too I suppose.

I love your brick idea though, I’d never though of that!
I think my house might have one brick colored in. Silly market downturn. lol
