So stankin' pleased w/ myself!

I can't contain my excitement right now! Smiley Very Happy Here's what I'm working with...

  • May 2019 - 1st CC - Navy Go - $15K SL
  • Sept 2019 - 2nd CC - Cap1 QS - $5K SL
  • Sept 2019 (Last night) - 3rd CC - AmEx BCE - $2K SL

I tried to choose CC's that I can use everyday, will grow with time and care and arguably most importantly - I won't grow out of. I want these cards to age with me. Smiley Wink So, now.. I garden in Eden until 2021 2022 (FML)Smiley Frustrated which is when the last of my late payments fall off.

 

But, you want to know what the best part about last night was???? Using all the info I've learned from this board, I approached my spouse and made the following suggestions to improve his credit health -

  1. PC out of Cap1 Plat ($3.5K/6 yrs old) - approved for QS w/ soft pull & an immediate CLI request.
  2. Call USAA and apply for a personal loan to consolidate all debt under 1 rate & payment - $18K unsecured approved at the lowest rate w/ no penalty for early pay off. 

 

It should be noted that his credit is very healthy with scores in the high 7's and a 20 yr history w/ no baddies. Still, he should be thanking me. I just caused every CC he has to go to a 0% UTI as well as a few not so awesome installment accts to close. 

 

Just want to thank everyone for all the advice given & experiences shared.

You guys have no idea how much satisfaction I received for subtly proving I was more knowledgable in credit than my know-it-all husband. Smiley LOL

 

I think this was a victory for all woman-kind. Lol.
