I left a crazy abusive relationship and divorced my husband 5 years ago. I suffered severe depression and was unable to even get out of my place due to anxiety, let alone work... i had to live of my credit card for a while and then took on a student loan to go back to school.... i have a shitty job and dont live in luxury. I’ve had to tighten my belt, suck it up and try to pay my credit card (otherwise the interest fees would drain my sanity).. im feeling a bit more relieved and hopeful now.
TL/TR: I finally paid my credit card. It feels good.
Edit: Front page!? Oh wow o.O thank you all so much.. once again. This is great company to have around

Go for a walk some place not to far but in a beautiful location. It’s free and a rally nice reward for your accomplishment.

Almost there myself! I got lucky and was able to transfer to a zero percent card for a year. Really saved me.

Congratulations. You have now become a much less valuable customer to your credit card company.

We get credit cards here for free, we don't have to pay for it.

Isn't it a great feeling?? Had no interest in getting another, but eventually did, used responsibly to reestablish good credit.

Which god/demon did you sacrifice the to?

Probably could have just sold the goats to pay it off, instead of the bloodletting rituals

I did that once with a DMP (debt management plan). They reduced all of the interest to 0% and I made like 60 mo. payments. Saved my life!

Good for you. Not many people take responsibility for their lives like that. Well done.

You, mam - are in the minority. The privileged few who love within their means. Do you know what the avg credit card debt is in the US?
drbloodbathmc
I am curious myself. I’ve never been more than $300 in credit debt (though I’m lucky and have a place for dirt cheap rent so that helps)
drbloodbathmc
I should. It’s i also have 30k in student loans left.
TroelsyTwo
Privileged? You mean, don't buy shit until you've saved up for it? You sound like you feel you're entitled to crap you want or something?

Good for you. Now go out and treat yourself to something nice.

I read that as 'go treat your lice'
boomer0001
But not too nice. Like moderately nice, that you can pay off this month.

Put it on the card

Obviously.

Having a healthy bank account is a treat. Treat yourself to that. Keep making the numbers go up, OP.

Yes and no. Working just to keep the numbers up isn't really living. It's just existing.

Treating yourself in different ways is important too, though. The trick is to find that balance. EX, I live basically in poverty, barely >

> make enough to pay bills and rent and necessities. Put a few bucks in the savings each month. If I can spare one for a McChicken tho? >
