So five years ago I had a problem. A seemingly insurmountable problem. I had run up one of my credit cards to the limit- $12,000. Seriously. Today that balance is now $0. Woooo!

I still have a really small cc that I'm almost done paying off, and will have student loans until I retire, but I am no longer paying off my youthful indiscretions of cigarette cartons, rental cars, clothes, and booze.

Also, if you are looking for something to read on the internet, may I recommend Michael Palin's online New Europe travel book.

Those things are 'youthful indiscretions'?!

Oh man. Maybe -that's- what I've been doing wrong...

(That said, congrats!!!)

Well, charging $12K worth of those things is probably the youthful indiscretion part. Now I pay for booze with money that I have and not money I think I'll have!

AHHHH Ok. Well, then, I've grown up too. Hooray for that! i was concerned for a minute though....

Huh. It looks like there's a collection of all his documentaries out. It's like 200 bucks, but has pretty much everything in it.

Congratulations!! I've been hearing the same news from so many people in the last 2 years and it's always good to hear! (Mine got paid off by end of year last year, thanks to a very aggressive payment schedule.)

Holy crap!
That's awesome!

GO YOU!

Congrats! I knew you could do it!

I was thinking of spending money to celebrate, but that would not be wise! =)

[wildflowersoul.livejournal.com]

Oooooh. We do have all the other documentaries on our Netflix queue. But that would be a good b-day present at some point.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Nicely done, aggressive payment schedules are the best way to stop giving the cc companies our money!

*snerk* that icon never ceases to amuse me.

Thanks!

Way to go!

In other news, this was posted on one my friend's LJs and I thought you might find it mildly amusing: http://thisisindexed.com/2009/02/indie-rock-frontmen-freak-out-the-sahms/

Ha! Awesome. For the record, I really hate the indie rock mustache trend.

[tenillypo.livejournal.com]

Wise, schmise. Buy yourself a little present. ;)
