So many of you have taught me so much on this board.
I came here in July of 2008 with about $28,000 in c/c bills (spread out over three cards) and two car payments totaling about $16,000.
Today I made our FINAL c/c payment. Once it posts to the card we are c/c DEBT FREE. I am in shock and awe.
We have one car paid off and the other (my car) we owe $5,500 on. We hope to use our tax return to pay off my car in full.
Through all this I began by hiding debt from my husband, I got laid off and we had some ups and downs in our health. However, I'm so glad to say that my husband and I are closer now, we talk about EVERYTHING money related, the good and the bad. And....I am enjoying being home with my kids so much. More than I expected to be.
We haven't used our c/c's since July of 2008 and we have worked so hard to be where we are today.
I am far from leaving this board. I love everyones stories and althought I don't always post on everyone's topics I do think all of us are doing such an amazing job.
Thanks for sharing in my journey ladies!!!

Congrats Beeps! Phew! I think we all needed a success story today so thanks for that!
You have come so far in such a short period of time! You are a true inspiration. That is real dedication for 17 months and we all can learn from you. I am glad to hear you are not leaving the board.
Good luck with your new found freedom and I hope the hardest decision you have now is what to do with those flakes!!
Good stuff!
So inspirational! Congratulations and thanks for posting.
