I managed to pay off ye olde Mastercard two months early thanks to the earned income credit. It took 21 months to pay off $9500 in credit card debt (1 Discover, 2 Mastercards) and I did without a lot of things I would have liked, but wow. Just knowing that my next paycheck is mine and won’t be eaten up by interest charges? Now that’s priceless.
