Spent the summer erasing foolish debt

[theHankster]

Hello all. First time post here.

Wanted to share my experience in rebuilding credit. Back in April I left a dead-end salary job and I had 16k of debt across 5 cards. My scores had tanked from the 750 range to the low 600s.

Got a new job in mid-April, and laid out a plan to pay off 1 card per month. I am happy to report that 1 only have 1 card left to pay off, and my scores have recovered to being above 700

Good work!

Nicely done, keep up the good work.

Way to stay focused and eliminate your debt! It's a great feeling when you see your scores climbing.

To me...the greatest satisfaction for me becoming debt-free (I completed a 100% CH 13 for 3.5 years) is the fact that my entire salary now goes to ME. No interest...

Enjoy the liberation you will experience from having money sucked out of your wallet with no benefit to you.

Congrats! Way to go!

Congrats.  I'm about to do the same.  Just got an amazing job offer ($50k raise) with a F500 company starting on Jan 1.  Will make paying off all my debt in 2024 much much easier.
