Staying focused on my goals

I was doing some online shopping today and happened to get the pop up from one of the shopping cart stores. I didn't take as it didn't align with the goals that I am working towards. I will admit that it was nice to see the work paying off and at least I now qualify for the offers. It really made me realize how much my attitude toward credit as changed. In the past, I would have signed up without even thinking twice. Instead, today, I passed on the offer without even thinking twice.

Good Job! 

 

It's amazing once you know how hard it is to get scores up what you will change to make sure you never have to do it again!
