Paid off another card! (small one)

I paid off another credit card today! It was only up to $500, but still, with the rest of my debt, sadly enough that took me a long time to pay off. I still owe the gas company about $500 and my eye doctor about $400 (I think). And of course two other cards totaling $2400, an unsecured loan of $2400, two student loans and $14k more for my truck to be paid off. Getting to get 3 out of 6 items in CCCA paid and done with feels amazing noetheless! In two more payments I'll have another credit card paid off that used to be $1,100. Its a Sears card that I have not charged on in 6 years. Isn't that pitiful! But I have learned my lesson and I'm not going back.

Its a good feeling and tonight I am celebrating boyfriends birthday by taking him out to the nicest place I could find. It will be pricey, its a surprise to him, but its payday and the paid off the card day! Unfortunately its raining and this place is 50 floors up and is known for the view and thats why people pay a ton of money to go, but whatever, we are still going. And I am paying CASH. And not having regrets the next morning when I check my bank account.

If I can do this, ANYONE CAN!! I stopped buying magazines, I don't buy coffee out anymore and I eat spinach with cottage cheese and salad fixings for lunch for under $5 at the work cafe so at least I am getting healthy too. I used to order in eggplant parm, pizz, etc., for $7.00/day so this is a huge step for me.
