Poor Impulse Control...

Options

‎07-11-2012 02:27 PM

I tried so hard to wait, but I couldn't!

 

Did the app for NFCU cashRewards last night and was approved for $5000 limit! My highest so far, so I'm not the least disappointed. Though I can't help but wonder if I'd have been granted a higher limit next month after lowering my utility. Either way, I'm in now so it can only get better, right!

 

I know people say this all the time, but I really have to thank this community for empowering me to take control of this area of my life.

 

myFICO rocks!
