Credit Card Freedom Day
We got our state tax refund today. And after work, Jennie and I mailed what will be the last credit card payment we’ll ever make.
We’d hoped to be done by the end of last year, but life happened. There were a lot of things we hadn’t planned for, and even with Jennie and me both working part-time, it took us longer than we thought. But we made it. We’ve been in debt together for longer than we’ve been married, and finally, after something like fourteen years, a big, big part of that debt is gone. (And I put in my two week’s notice at my part-time job the day after I filed the tax returns. Tomorrow I work my last weekend there.)
Whew.
No more credit card payments. Ever.
In some ways it feels like starting our life together all over again.

Congratulations. My family has been working on the same goal for almost 2 years now. We’re almost there.
Dave Ramsey has been a great educator/motivator for us.
