Well, I thought the day would never come, but I am finally in a "current" status with all our credit cards. Yup, I am not late on any of them. Many of them are not due again until late octber. I am current on the following accounts:

Sears

Discover

Target

bank one (#1)

bank one (#2)

Universal Card

Capital One

Verizon Wireless

Verizon (home phone)

This upcoming week I am paying our entire electric bill, which has been in a payment plan status for years. (We have called and re-did the plan several times! It will feel so good not having to worry about being shut off). And we are also paying off our entire Direct tv bill.)

I can now actually live with our budget! I can make snowflakes. Now that we are current I can start really making progress. it feel so good! I still have one Overdrawn bank acct to pay on and also one bill in collections (for a gazelle, exersize equipment). But they are both on budget plans and I am making weekly payments. I feel so proud of myself. We honestly have not been current on our bills for months.

Kel, it looks like you're doing great. Things are so much less stressful when you have a plan to follow.

Keep up the good work.

Great job...I know that as time goes by, I feel like a huge weight is being lifted off my shoulders. It sure feels great to be in control, doesn't it? CONGRATULATIONS!!

Yay!!!! That's awesome-you're doing great!

Yep, now that you're current, let the *fun* (term used VERY loosely here, lol) BEGIN!!

Set your first target and start flaking-it'll be g-o-n-e before you know it.

Congratulations!
