Debt free at last!

Well I went into the Spring approx. $20,000 in debt and made a vow to be debt free by Fall, simply by paying weekly, highest rate first, beating up the banks for better apr's, and actually got a cli along the way. Between Friday and Saturday biz was awesome, and cash was King, with the last $2400 owed to GE money bank going out today. This should boost scores slightly, available credit is $37,500, scores to follow!

Congrats. My wife and I actually just made a debt free in 1 year plan. It is alot but I think it is doable. We are counting car loans, student loans, credit cards, etc. We dont have a mortgage currently so we hope by this time next year to owe no one. It has to be a good feeling. Then we will try to buy a house.

Congratulations, indeed! GEMB is evil. I won't be truly debt-free for years (student loans), but I will be divested of all those evil little store cards shortly. I'm so excited!!!

Now start socking away that cash that was disappearing each month!!!

Congrats clipperskipper! I'm almost there. I have the money to pay off a $3000 balance on one of my cards, but I'm still building up my emergency fund.
