Paid off one of my credit cards today! One down and two to go! The one I paid off I also cut it up so I don't use it again. I will keep the account open, but won't use it! Feels good!

Good for you! Getting those credit cards G-O-N-E is always a nice feeling!

Good job!

Congrats!! I paid off a small balance a few months ago and I know how great that feels!
It should be easier from here! I don't know if you're following a plan, but a good rule of thumb is to take the monthly payment you were making on the card and apply it to another card. So if the monthly payment on the one you paid off was $50 and you pay $100 a month on another one, just make the payment $150 on the next one!

Good luck!!! @>----

Thanks I think that will work. It makes sense because that payment was already in my budget anyway, so it isn't like I have to come up with the extra money somewhere else. I like that approach and I can see why so many people have found that to be effective. Take care.
