pay off all of my credit cards.

With business so slow recently, we’ve started using credit cards more often to help with cash flow, so I had to crack open some of the ones that I thought were paid off for good. We’ve come into a bit of cash recently so we paid off a lot of the small balances that were building up, but that still leaves me with two credit cards. Oh, well. Nothing to do but keep paying down the debt until it is all gone…

Hard to believe, but I just realized I only have one credit card left. I expect to pay that one off within two months.

This week, I used the card I just paid off, but I think this was a good move. My employer will reimburse me up to a certain amount for classes I take during the year. Since I couldn’t afford to pay as much they would reimburse me, I put a couple of thousand back on the card to reach my reimbursable limit. My tuition reimbursement is already being processed, and I will apply the entire amount to my card :)

I just paid off another credit card. That means I am down two, with four to go. By my count, I can pay off another one during January, so that will be a big boost to my morale. Here’s to killing the interest rate monster! :)

You know, I actually make pretty decent money. Why can’t I pay these evil things off? Oh, I know! Because interest is like a giant leech attached to my jugular. Well, I’ll have the last laugh… eventually. For now, I just paid one off, and that one will remain at a zero balance. STAY AT A ZERO BALANCE, DAMN YOU!

Well, I’ve managed to make good progress this year, but not as much as last year. Some family medical bills got in the way, but those are mostly paid off now. I expect to make significant progress next year; in fact, ‘08 could be the year I pay them ALL off. After that, I switch to all cash =D
