Don't you just love when you can make a big dent in your debt? We'll be able to make a huge payment in March that will effectively halve ours! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait to see the numbers go down! Congratulations Tricia, that’s terrific!

But, I think your debt payoff may accelerate because as the principal goes down, so will the finance charge :) Excellent! :D

Today is leap day and you have something to leap about. I am excited to enter March because I am expecting my bonus to finally be in my hands, watch out credit cards (evil laugh). What motivates me right now is trying to get my net worth up to ZERO. Even though I will still be in debt, it will help me keep going watching it grow positive. I am hoping to remove at least 2 of my cards and 2-3 smaller ones my wife has that total almost a grand. Removing this many payments to those cards will pile up nice payments on the others, and they'll begin to go away even more rapidly than before. Good job and at this rate you'll be in the 4 figure range come summer! That’s great news when you can make huge payments or even a payment large enough to pay off the entire balance!

We had gone back and forth with credit card debt but it wasn't until I had finally gotten completely fed up with it that we got rid of it. We've now been CC debt free for over a year! I know you are going to be saying the same thing soon enough. Keep up the great work. Isn’t it amazing what you can do when you finally truly put your mind to it?

I still remember your post when you broke the $20K line - seems like it was yesterday. Before you know it you'll be putting money into investments rather than paying down debt. Thats awesome!

I also love your posts about the simple pleasures of life (playing outside in the snow, playing games) and on selling the stuff that you wonder why you ever bought. You are enjoying the things that really matter more and more, and the "stuff" that doesn't really matter is losing its shine for you. That is why I know you are going to succeed in paying off your debt completely -- because you aren't just clamping down on a temporary basis, you are re-aligning your values and priorities. So I sense that you are destined not only to become more and more financially healthy, but also more and more content, and satisfied, and delighted with the things that truly matter in life!
