Well with being out of town and being busy I haven't really been checking in here as much as I was a few months ago - but things are looking up. I am in graduate school and am only working part time but have managed to pay down my debt to right at $5000 and I haven't put anything on a credit card in six months! I have even been paying all of my tuition and books in full so that is nice. I know I will be able to get it all paid off once I graduate next summer and am able to work full time and not pay tuition!

But my best news is that I got a letter from my cc company yesterday stating that b/c I've been making such good payments they are lowering my interest rate and raising my limit. Yeah! (not so much for the limit but for the interest rate) - plus I am hoping that it will help out my credit rating. Anyway, that made my day and I thought I would pass it on. I hope everyone is doing well and having a good summer.

That's fabulous! Go, you! It will feel so great to graduate with *less* debt than you started with, and ready to start building wealth.

Congrats,

Heather

Hi,
Great! How really nice to get the lowered interest rate. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that a credit card company could notice in a good way.
Good for you.

That's wonderful! Sounds like you're going to knock the rest of the debt off in no time!

Congratulations!
