I feel like a huge weight is lifting because ALL of my high interest credit card debt is GONE!!! My last card has very low interest on it, so even though I’m dying to finally click on the “I’m done” button, I’m going to let it float for a while so I can accelerate paying off my (much higher interest) dental bills, which by now I’ve paid down to $785. I have been struggling with this for sooooo long, I can’t even believe how the debt seems to be disappearing so quickly.

I worked fewer hours, but still managed to get below $1,800 this month.

Chase: 907
ATT: 1002

My husband took out a loan to consolidate most of his credit card debt, and paid off my BofA card. Once I knock out my Chase card and my dental bills, I’m going to help pay that loan (with both of us working on it, should be paid off within 2 years, easy).

Yeah payday! I am getting ruthless paying off the BofA card. My total CC debt is now less than what the balance on the BofA card was in January ($2500). My New Year’s resolution was to have less than $2K in CC debt, and now I’m thinking I can do that by August/early September (I keep going over my “numbers” in delighted disbelief!).

I rolled loose change and took it to the bank and deposited it today, and was able to pay down an extra big chunk this month. Ha! Who says it’s not worth saving pennies. (And nickels, and dimes, and quarters…)

Below $2,700! Every hundred I pay off feels like a triumph.



$2,789 7 months ago

BofA: 861
Chase: 898
ATT: 1030

My total dropped under $2,800 this paycheck… and I took advantage of a transfer offer from the ATT card that I’d just paid off… I transferred a chunk from the Bofa card to the ATT card. Now, instead of paying 24.9% interest on that portion of debt, I’m paying only 5.9% for the life of the balance. The BofA card is the highest interest debt I have now, so I’m going to knock that out next.



$2,858 8 months ago

BofA: 1,990
Chase: 868

Yay for payday… finally got my big card under $2k (and it only took me 8 years…)



$2,988 8 months ago

Chase: 855
BofA: 2133

Finally under $3k! I feel euphoric today. I’m paying them down a lot faster than I was able to before.



$3,140 9 months ago

Bofa: 2249
Wamu: 891
ATT: 0

My online access to my Wamu card is blocked right now, because they are in the process of switching over to Chase, so I can’t pay that card back down at this time. That’ll have to wait for when the new site is up and running… I’m paying extra on the BofA card, though.
