It’s taken one year and nine months, but we have finally reached a special point in our debt reduction…we have paid off exactly HALF of our credit card debt ($18,807).
Right now the tears are starting to swell up in my eyes. Everyone has their own mini-goals (as I guess you could call them). Of course, the main goal is to be debt-free. But reaching the halfway mark is a big mini-goal to me. I am very proud that we have come this far and we haven’t given up.
I’d like to thank every single one of you reading this blog. I have all of you to thank for helping us reach this milestone. When I am feeling down, you help lift me up. When I am happy, you share in my joy. Thank you so very much for joining me on this journey. I’m not sure I could have done it alone.
Indeed, there are many things to be thankful for this year. 
I hope all of you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday!

Congrats! I just got back from vacation, and when I went to check your website, the first thing I thought was, I wonder if Tricia reached the half way mark yet? And you did! Yay!
Posted: November 27th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
Congratulations! I know that credit card debt can be such a huge pain and daunting because of high interest rates. You’re on such a great track!! Keep up the great work and motivation! You’re an inspiration to all of us that struggle w/ debt!!!
Posted: December 6th, 2007 at 5:35 pm
Congratulation, Tricia! With the same discipline, all would be paid off in less than 2 years. Imagine if you redirect and continue your credit card payment allocation into your saving account!
