pay off my credit card debt

I’ll be honest and admit I added back some debt, but luckily I didn’t add on as much as I paid off. I have more income coming in now and this month I’m determine to get on a realistic repayment plan. I want to pay off all my credit cards by mid-late 2011, and I’m hoping I can make a larger dent in what I owe.

I made a blog to track my paying off my debt. It needs to be updated since I had to stop paying some off after hearing the horrow stories of people having their lines closed or their limits lowered :| I’m hoping to pay off $500-600 by the beginning of June crosses fingers

Every month I make a total of all the debts I currently have. I just did April’s tally and found that I’ve paid $725 of my credit cards. I’m very proud of myself for being discipline enough to make such a dent.

Paid off another credit card in full this month. I’m hoping I can pay off another but instead of taking close to 2 months I can get it done in 4 weeks.

I paid down $260 of a card in the past 2-3 weeks. I sold some of my tokidoki collection and I’m putting the profit made from the sales towards more of the balance. The card has less than $300 left on it and I know I can pay it all off immediately, but I’m waiting just in case I have an emergency since my income isn’t concrete right now. I still have a long way to go, but I’m getting there.

Damn my tokidoki addiction-it led me to finally get a hold of a rare toy which lead to charging it on a credit card. BUT I did make $145+ on eBay & other sales so I’m going to put that towards my balance. It’s still something though, better to come out even in opposed to the balance going up. Just got to keep on pushing.

I also charged on my Nordstrom & Victoria’s Secret cards but paid those off in full, so that’s another upside, right?

In lieu of recent events I’ve paid off one credit card in full. The balance was less than $350 but it was one balance gone. I’m proud of myself that I didn’t spend the money on something else… Pat on the back for me :)
