I felt guilty doing it over and over and not getting any further out of debt. This week I found a credit card with a 0% balance transfer rate for a year and no balance transfer fees. I opened two of them, one in my name and one in my husband's name. We were immediately approved for 20K each. I am so excited about moving my balances to those two cards and will try to pay off the debt in one year. It is a huge goal but I think we can do it! Thanks for your wonderful posts Tricia - keep up the good work! I was playing the transfer to low or no interest cards for years, then last year called it quits.

The majority of my credit card debt is at 0%, but it expires later this year. Jim pointed me at his 0% credit card list too, which I'll look at when the time is right. Really good post at BFP.

I've still got quite a bit to pay myself, but I'm finally headed in the right direction. Awesome job reducing your interest charges…that will make that payoff money work even harder.
