I am tickled!!! We paid off a credit card today.
My Dh and I struggle with a fluctuating income and we have been plodding away at reducing our debt. We haven't used credit cards in more than a year. My Dh has been working lots of overtime lately so we took that money and paid off our smallest credit card. We are hoping to pay off one of the others in the next few weeks.

In the past, we have alway had to play catch up when he has worked lots with overdue bills and payments. We have worked really hard to reduce living expenses, sold our house and moved to cheaper area, no cable, basic internet, one cellphone (instead of two!) I am delighted to finally see some progress!

Great job! It's always always a great feeling to not only get it all under control, but to start paying things off.

Congratulations!

Congrats! You know, you just gave me an idea. You said that you used the overtime to pay off the cc. Well, I just might "pretend" I didnt work that extra day or so in the last few weeks, and put that money toward the medical bill. Way to go! Whiz.
