Hey Guys,

My credit card balance is now $0.00!!!!  :screams:  🙂   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Oh wait, one more… “!”   🙂
I have successfully defeated the evil plastic nemesis and am now credit card debt-freeeeeee!

I got a tax refund and it hit my checking account today. Woot!  I immediately used some of it to pay off the rest of my credit card debt. When I say immediately, I mean within seconds.  Most of my refund went into savings.

You guys can’t see me, but I’m doing some serious dancing right now!

Ohhhh, I thought I’d never see this day. After two looooong years of payments, during part of which I was unemployed, $30,340 of credit card debt is finally gone.  I have no speeches or words of wisdom in this post. I’ll have something more articulate to write next time. Right now… I just gotta dance!!!!

Carlton’s with me…

    A VERY, VERY BIG congratulations. You can wake up every morning for the rest of your life with a feeling of relief that people who’ve never experienced debt will never know.

    I’ve gone through a similar thing to you, but not as severe, and I feel light inside now, freer, even though I’m not fully out of it.

    I hope you will celebrate well.

    Best of luck.

    This post, and the rest of your blog, is so inspirational! Like you, I too have a mountain of evil debt I’d like to squash. Nothing beats the feeling of keeping your paycheck for life’s rewards–and not the burdens. Thanks for the added drive to improve my debt-free goals. Congrats on your success!
