Shhh. If I say this too loudly, I may jinx it.
OUR CREDIT CARD IS PAID OFF!!!!
We decided to use the rest of our extra paychecks to pay off the remaining balance. The checks didn’t cover all we owed but my husband worked some overtime and we were able to clear the rest.
We set aside some money for the bachelorette party in Vegas and the secretly located bachelor party. I would have probably opted not to go to Vegas but the bride is my soon to be sister in law and well… who can say no to Vegas?

Six words: free beers at the penny slots.
(we spent our time reading the instructions, which are really long. Then the nice lady brought us beers.)

Awesome! Congratulations!
We’re still a fair bit off from getting rid of our credit card debt but your success sure helps our motivation. Thanks for sharing!
