Turning down pre-approvals feels nice!

I got a Fingerhut pre-approval, a Legacy Visa pre-approval and a Blaze MC pre-approval in the mail and I ripped them up and tossed them.

 
I realize these "offers" are not for good cards but it has been 6+ years since I have gotten any pre-approvals, even from sub-sub-prime lenders.  Even a few months ago, I would have accepted these just to have some new credit.  But now, even though I have a very, very long way to go, I don't need them.  That is a nice feeling and it says that I am on the right track.  I'm in the garden for the next 12 months at the latest, just depending on when I can get negatives removed via EE and GW.    At this time next year, all of my negatives will be gone, gone, gone!
 
The information on this forum has been invaluable so thank you to everyone for their wonderful advice!
