An Engagement, a Wedding, Looking for the Good, Tired of Debt and Paying off $35,000 of Credit Card Debt

by

Here’s a few articles that caught my eye this week:

Basil popped the question to Bianca. Next up for them is a nice frugal wedding! Congrats to you both 🙂

[as a sidenote, here’s a link to some tips from my own frugal wedding that cost less than $2,000.]

Matt got married. Congrats!

DebtKid is looking for the good in himself. I deal with that all the time too. That’s probably why this quote made such an impact on me.

Debt in Seattle is sick and tired of being in debt. I think many of us can relate. Hang in there!

Lastly, the King and Queen of Debt reveal how they paid of $35,000 of credit card debt in one year. Yeah…my jaw is still open. That’s awesome guys!

Enjoy! 🙂

OUR CREDIT CARD DEBT IS UNDER $20,000!!!!

Sorry to shout it up there, but I can’t hold back. Payday was today and I have been itching to use the entire amount (and some) towards our debt but had to wait until after work. Then wait until after dinner. Then wait until I ran the numbers to make sure we could do it.

I don’t have to wait any longer. It’s a done deal. I initiated the payments and our credit card debt is under $20,000! It now sits at $19,806.

I haven’t even hit the “Publish” button on this post, yet I feel my heart fluttering a little. This milestone means a lot to me. Thank you to everyone for reading and commenting and helping to make this joyous day possible. There have been times where I’ve felt like throwing my hands up in defeat but with this blog I can’t. I can’t give up.

(NOTE: True to what I said earlier, my payments were towards my Prosper loan. I haven’t mentioned it lately, but my Prosper loan has always been considered part of my credit card debt total because I used it to transfer some of our credit card debt. So, whenever I reference credit card debt it includes the Prosper loan balance.)
