Glad it was a normal bill. It can be scary to open them up, but luckily your on the right path to pay down the debt!

Now that you got brave and opened one take the next step and study it. See when your close out date is and the interest you are paying on that bill for a month Then also check how they figure the interest do they come out of the air with some amount that is many times more then you owe and charge you interest on that amount.


take the next step Know you bill

I understand. For a long time now I've been peeking inside the envelopes and trying to ignore them. I've gone over all of our debt for the last week with eyes wide open. It's a rude awakening, but necessary.

I can't tell you how many times I've sat with bills in my work bag and haven't opened them. They are there and the fact that they are unopened bothered me for days but I would just ignore them for a week hoping they'd somehow poof away.


Glad to say those days are over. Although the debt is still there I am eager to see the bills now that I know the balance has gone down. Granted it might not be by much but its a start.
