Credit Card Horrors are Over! I Just Paid in Full!!!

December 7th, 2006 at 02:14 pm

WOOOO!!! HOOOOOO!!!! I am now officially doing the happy dance! The Chase Card is paid off! The check has been written and sent off!

The mortgage is paid! The cars are paid. Now the Credit Cards are paid in full!
I am not owing anybody about this time!
I am in debt to no one!!!!

I cannot describe the feeling! I feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off my shoulders! The leeches are no longer draining me financially! Cash and carry is now the order of the day!

I was waiting for this to happen before I blogged again! Now it has happened. Saving and investing will now increase significantly. I have been doing extra work so I have hit the forums but not the blogs. Hafta earn the money when the work is available.

The horror is gone for me. If the wife does it again she can pay for it. Gee whiz I feel good!

    Folks you don't know how elated I feel! Now I need to build up the Emergency Fund again and really start saving more for retirement and daughters college.

    If you just keep hitting it and don't give up no matter the setbacks you can get there. I am getting kind of choked up as I write this. You guys are the inspiration! You have listened to me and given me tons of help with your kind words and advice! This victory is as much yours as it is mine. You folks rock!

    The journey continues as I try to save and invest and stay out of debt!Smile
    Thank you all!!!Smile

    Congratulations! What a great present you have given yourself for this year. I think you should get a big empty box, wrap it up, and write PAID OFF IN FULL on it. That's right, now you'll be able to lend money to yourself. It's great!

    True that! And being a firearms instructor / fragrance connoisseur, I doubt many would dare to be late on their payments! Big Grin

  39. PRICEPLUS Says:
    December 8th, 2006 at 12:54 pm

    BA, I'd send them a picture of me wearing bicycle shorts! That would get people to pay in short order!

    I think I am going to treat myself to a bag of tootsie pops!!!! Grape and Cherry are my two favorites!

    Folks if I can do it so can you! Just don't ever give up! With the ideas and support of folks on this site you can get to where you want to be!Smile

    Fantastic!!! Speaking from experience, its a great, great feeling. What is really fun is putting all those monthly payments into savings, then watching as the interest rate works for you instead of against you.

  44. PRICEPLUS Says:
    December 10th, 2006 at 10:17 pm

    It is great to pay off your debt but please read this article before you close your credit card Cancel Credit Cards I dont want people to make the same mistake and close their credit card when it might actually HURT you and lower your credit score. Congrats paying off the card!

    I know the feeling. I have not paid off all my debt but I paid off the rest of my credit card debt and it felt great. I wrote about it on my blog at: www.singleguymoney.com
