Makes you feel good huh? 


I don't blame anybody for my poor decisions. None of the credit card companies put a gun to my head and said you need to spend money that you don't have or live way beyond your means so I take full responsibility for my actions Smiley Happy

At least he is being responsible and has a plan to pay it off - many in his situation would undoubtedly file BR.

 

OP, good luck with your plan. Smiley Happy

Re: 2010 Credit Card Goals

Wow it's been a long journey! Good luck on your adventure. I'm sure you'll get there. Just remember to always make payments on time, then apply the rest of the available money towards the card with the highest interest rate.

Re: 2010 Credit Card Goals

You're doing great.  I appreciate that fact that you're making the effort to pay this all off, rather than taking another route.  Keep up the good work. Smiley Happy

Thanks. I am trying! I am really hopping that by the end of 2013 it will all be gone. It's amazing how hard it can be to get out of debt.
