    @ Julie, Mom & SS4BC

    Thanks so much!!! It feels incredible to be so close, and because I cut up my credit card I can't mess it up this time!!

    @ Julie K - the budget squeeze is just finding more money within my budget to apply it to the debt... so I've been cutting my jars pretty thin, using my cell phone less, and a few other small things that will enable to to sqeeeze out a few extra $$ to get that debt paid off.

    My budget is wearing it's skinny jeans... lol

    That's great! We're working on my husband's CC debt now, and a lil' bit on my cards. Hoping to see no debt by the end of the year.

    @ RainyDay

    Once mine is paid off, I'll work with my honey (not yet a hubby) to get his squared away, which won't take neaarrrly as long as mine did.
