i just scheduled my final payment to the credit card that we use for long-term balances.
it was 0% interest, but still.
man, that feels good!

Congratulations BD. I dont really have anything like that on a credit card, but it would be nice to have no car payment... Not sure when/if that will
happen though.

Outstanding News!

yeah, we still have a mortgage, car payment and this hospital bill to deal with, but i don't mind those.
we pay more than we need to on all three of those every month.
but credit cards, ugh.
we have one we use regularly and payoff on a monthly basis.
then there was this debt juggling we've been doing for the past few years.
that shit is over.
frees up significant cash for other things.

congrats man.
hospital bills suck. i'm lucky, and i say that reluctantly, to be disabled enough so that i basically get free care. we used to get the bills of
what the shit i was getting done to me would cost and it was expensive as hell.

Good for you BD. Wish we could all say the same though, but htose who have the ability do it ASAP. Shit is looking really bad for the job market.

Awesome news, BD. Getting out from under debt really does feel like a weight has been lifted from you. Mrs. Moron and I aren't completely debt
free... we still have some credit card debt... but the majority of it is gone now. As strange as it felt to take a huge chunk of savings and give it
to a credit card company it had to happen for us to finally begin moving forward in our lives. We've still got a few thousand each, which is nothing
compared to what we used to have, but we're slowly making progress. More importantly, we're not really using our credit cards anymore. I never use
mine. It took alot of convincing to make Mrs. Moron understand that we shouldn't be buying groceries with a credit card. It took alot to convince
her to put more towards savings each month too.
