Actually I did it a month ago but I did it! All bills paid. Other than the regular stuff (rent, insurance, etc…) my money is my own again! No matter how long it takes, the freedom is glorious!

How I did it: Once we moved out of the apartment and into a house, it was time. We researched and found a wonderful breeder and now have two wonderful Siamese cats that are a handful and a delight. I knew I'd love having cats (I can't say own because they own us)! Read how I did it…
As of today I’m down to one credit card bill and they know I’ll be finished with them in a few months (“We’ve increased your limit!”). Other than regular bills, the only real debt that will be left is the Disney Vacation Club points I’m sharing with my mom and that’s not bad at all.
Once the MC is paid off, I’m closing that account, getting a better card and being very, very responsible. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter.
I’ve now been in two recitals for my dancing. The first one was easy but this year’s I almost bailed out of. My dance teacher stayed on me though, telling me that she knew how much I loved to dance and that I’d be cheating myself out the enjoyment. Well… I practiced harder and went to the recital. I wasn’t perfect all the way through but the one dance that scared me the most (especially since I’d be up front and obvious) I nailed!
