pay off credit cards
my plan

Yesterday I came up with a plan to have my credit cards paid off by January. Including an additional cash allowance for giving gifts in December. Now all I have to do is stick to it, I think I was reasonable so hopefully it won’t be too hard.

how i did it

Although it sounds like you are already well on your way, what I did was pick the smallest balance and paid that off. Then I added what I would have paid on that to the payments for the next smallest one, and paid it off. Added that onto the next one… It gave me a sense of progress to get one paid off, and then the next one went even faster.

Since paying them off, I’ve let them creep up a bit during the year but then paid them off with my tax return. This year is our best year yet. Only a few hundred on one card.

Cut it up

don’t forget to cut it up so you wont be attempted to use it.
