There was a mantra Christina and I had…Â Â Â Be Debt Free in 2004 2005Â 2006!
By the end of this week we’ll have paid off every credit card that we carry around with us. The only line of credit we’ll have open with a balance is our bill for our washer/dryer set. That one is still interest free so it is the last one to get paid off.  (beggining of May, that’s the payoff goal on that one)
I can now happily say that we’re soon to be full on deadbeats* and it feels good. Not having a monthly payment to plan for is going to be a great thing.
* That’s the term I’ve heard (some) Credit Card employees give to people who pay off their balances in full/on time. After all, they don’t make any money that way.
wooooo hooooo!!!!
of course we have that pesky student loan too…but that’s doable too.
now we can save up some bucks for paying the midwife, buying baby things, saving, etc
donations to the “Crabby needs a new ______ fund” may be forwarded to Chris
I am proud of you for paying off your credit cards. That can be hard to do when you do not have to (like you said, the credit card companies are happy when you just make the monthly payment)
