American Express Card - PAID IN FULL

December 29th, 2009 at 08:49 am

Woo-Hoo!!

After many years of mindless spending we finally got serious. Our AMEX balance for the last 2 years (I'm ashamed to say) has stayed a steady $12,000. Today the balance is ZERO!

But that is not all we paid off in the past 6 months. We also tossed out the door a $1,000 balance on Discover and a $3,000 Visa card.

I am happy to say we are no longer the "Typical American Family" that is in debt up to their eyeballs. We are credit card free and it feels WONDERFUL!

How did we do it you ask? DH & I set out our goals together and worked together to accomplish them. We stopped spending and we both took extra jobs and hours.

Now on to slash that Home Equity Loan!
