pay off my debt

I’ve been paying down the card a bit, but the balance is still high. What with my roof now needing some repairs, I’m thinking my cash-flow problems will continue.

So, I bought a house. I love it. But houses eat money. In the long run, all will be well, but I’m making no progress at paying down my current credit card debt. For now, I’ll settle for not letting it get any worse.

And yet it is. I make enough money that I should be able to pay my debt down, and yet every month I wind up putting just as much (or more) on my credit cards as I paid off the month before.

My resolution—unless I must buy something with a credit card (like plane tickets) I am going to start paying with cash or check. No more groceries, gas, or meals out on plastic.
