Today has been a good paying bills day! I call my husband who usually cringes when I call him on Payday, and tell him we paid off one bill, now 5 more to go! And I have a plan to probably pay a good portion of our next highest interest bill off next month.
He then says that he took a piece of equipment (track loader) that he was given several years ago to auction this morning. So we will have whatever that sells for, could be $500 - could be $8000. Hard to tell.
I then told him it didn't matter, all of what we get is going to fund an "Emergency Fund". Of course he immediately argued that it should go on debt, and I explained that the reason we have cc debt is because we do not save for things that can & will come up unexpected. He actually agreed!

Congratulations......
Sounds like you're getting a great TAXFREE windfall! Love to hear how the auction turns out.
I agree with you about the emergency fund. That's giving me trouble lately. I don't have all that much in CC debt, but my monthly budget is so tight it squeaks!!!!!. No wiggle room at all. Seems like every time I get a little bit in my savings account, something unbudgeted occurs. So far this year it's been new tires, car repair, dental expenses, legal bills. I've been divorced for two years but my moronic ex still causes me lots of expensive custody problems. My savings account seems to have a revolving door on it. Very frustrating. I wish I could see that grow as well as see the CC debt diminish.
Good luck to you for the next payday experience!
