Credit Card Paid Off!
Well, I usually dont talk about finances to other people But we paid of our Credit card today and I am really happy! We had about 6g'* on it in December. The reason we had that was because I own a business and we needed to get a few things rolling and had to buy a bunch of equipment. We needed to spend money to make money, well anyways its been working out for us we had about 14 weddings (12 now because we already shot a few and got paid for them) and with their $500 deposits we managed to pay our Credit Card off. We make really good money as it is without the business, but the business funds and the Marine Corps GI bills (my wife was/is a Marine, which is $2500 tax free monthly) for the next 2 1/2 years we have been blessed!

I had one credit card in my life so far. Never again
I went into it basically thinking of it as a loan. I just kept making the minimum payments and the debt kept getting bigger! When I sold my lumina I decided to throw all that cash at the cc company. Debt free ever since. (except for school loans )

Congrats Vince. I paid mine of a couple years ago, but then got one a few months back to helpmanage expenses when our family was short on liquid assets. Unfortunety I also have a 401k loan, house payment, and a car payment. Personally my financials are looking like they will go back in an upswing in the near future and I can get these paid off, at which time I won't take out another loan unless absolutely necissaty. There is something to be said about being debt free, especially in this financial market right now.
Congrats again on your new found freedom!

If I need to use one for something I can't pay off the next month, I get a new one with 1 year , no interest, then pay it off before then.
