Posted by Kromey at 2:53pm Dec 31 '09FINALLY!! I've paid off a mountainous $11,000+ credit card debt - it's completely gone, as of the moment that this morning's payments post.
Now, that's not to say that I'm debt-free - still have a car loan (which I'm paying off at an accelerated rate) and of course the ring I bought for [private] in November (I could have paid it in full, but why do that when there's the option for 0% financing?).
Still, it feels good to finally be in complete control of my finances, and to no longer be watching my money disappear into interest. With that finally taken care of, it's time to start some serious savings toward a down payment on a house! :-)
