pay off credit cards

I have a big week at work coming up. I’ll probably bring in 400 dollars on Black Friday and the weekend after. Maybe I can bring it down some more.

I’m trying to qualify for a house in the Spring. I owe $5466 today.
It was more than double 15 months ago. Amazing.

It’s so weird to see some of these balances below 2000. For the longest time they were all at 5K or more!

When 2010 opens, I want my balance BELOW $4800. I can realistically pay off the balance that year. I probably will be CC debt free by the opening of 2011. That is crazy. I have had a CC balance since 1999, my freshman year of college. It’s been one of the biggest negative factors in my life. Now it’s almost gone. I know as I write this that I have over 5K going, but it wasn’t until very very recently that I had the means to STOP using them and never made enough money to make large payments until now.

Next month’s monthly payments will be $125, $80, and $75, respectively.

When I leave for Italy, I want my balance at $5600. :)

I can’t believe I am BELOW 6,000! A year ago I was OVER 12K!

I am so tempted to pay a chunk of it off when I get my quarterly paycheck from my second job. I only get paid every 3 months and when I do I am always torn on what I should do with it. It’s 630 bucks! I should play catch up on other bills but I really am tempted to do something major with this cash. I am obsessed with getting this stupid balance down!!
