I am so totally happy right now. I woke up this morning and realized it has been one month,thats right a FULL MONTH, since DH and I last used the credit card. It has been the longest we have gone in our married life (11 yrs) that we have gone without using a credit card. I am really proud of DH because, after I told him I had put MY cc in our lock box, he did the same thing with his, without me asking.

I told him this morning before he left for work that it had been a month and he left with a huge grin on his face.

Just wanted to share.

It's a feat when you realize you can get through the month without using the cards. Delayed gratification is hard, but worth it. Our last use of a credit card was December of 2001 and suddenly our debt went from 30,000 in credit cards to now around $6000. Living on cash only is challenging but doable.
