I think the saying goes that a “Picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, I have to say this picture is worth a million bucks!!!
As of 6/30/06, Credit Card #2 is paid off!! To see where it was back in February, click here.
There have been a few times since I started this blog that I wondered why the heck I was doing this and I almost hit the delete button. One time was when I ended up having to use my credit card for groceries and had to fess up (which wasn’t fun).
I’m glad I didn’t hit that button, because seeing progress like this is why I am doing this. There will be setbacks because no one is perfect. What matters is what you do with that setback and what you learn from it. Here’s a quote I’d like to share:
“When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.”

Congratulations. I know that must feel really good. Keep at it and you will get rid of all your debt sooner than you think.

Woohoo! I love statements that say, $0 balance.
Congrats Tricia!

I am so proud of you!
I can’t wait until I see my credit card at a $0 balance.
Thanks for this amazing blog – and thanks for mentioning my “Happy Slob’s Guide to Housecleaning” blog in yours some time ago.
Drop by and see if there’s anything new you like…
Hugs,
Christina

[...] What a Beautiful Picture – The credit card with the highest balance (and was the one that raised their rate on me for no reason) was now paid off with balance transfers. It felt very good. [...]
