I announced on my blog recently that I am challenging myself to pay off my mortgage as soon as possible.  We just made our first large lump sum payment toward that goal, and I want to put up a ticker so my readers can visualize my progress. I've seen these on other blogs before, but can't remember where.

 

Anyone know of a good ticker (a plugin, perhaps) I can use for this purpose?

I do a monthly update of my balance using NetWorthIQ, but it is baked in with everything else.

I have a post about how to add progress bars – don't know if that's what you're looking for, but if so it tells how to do it. (Link)

Thanks, Andrea!  Me + Code = not a good idea, but I will use this if I can't find another option.  Was hoping someone knows of a plugin that does this.

A manual method would be to create a chart in Excel or whatever spreadsheet program you use, then upload a copy of the chart as an image file.

Andrea's option is good – you basically just have to paste it into a widget, then edit the last value every month.  You'd probably spend more time if you drew the chart manually each month and uploaded it.

I can't believe I didn't think of that!  Thanks!

Yeah it would save time in the end.  But I would be able to do the same in Excel by tying a chart to a set of values I update each month.  Both are good options!

Combine the ideas?  Here's a third option:

 

Use Google's Spreadsheet Application

Put the Graph on a new page

Publish it (should be an option on the graph itself.  You also need to change the share to 'Anyone with a link')

Embed it using a widget?

 

That might be the best option.  What do you think?

hmmm, seems complicated to me! I'll post back here once I figure out what to do and get everyone's opinion.
