Hello! I'm a long-time lurker who decided to join today because I am about 45 days post discharge (ch7 bk) and have learned so much by reading these forums. I was approved for two cards this week: a secured discover it card to which I've deposited $500 and a first premier cc with a $700 limit. The bankruptcy came after some tough life issues and therefore really hit me hard, so the two cards are very symbolic, as they are helping me to envision my life moving forward in a positive way.
I also have an auto loan that I retained with capital one. The car will be paid off in about 3 years. I'm planning to garden until the car is paid off, and my ultimate goal is to buy a condo in about 5 years.
I'm not sure how often I'll comment on threads, but I am definitely learning a lot by reading your wisdom. Thanks and take care.
