It feels like a mixed victory, not completely victorious, because in order to do it, I had to cut 2 other bills in half and I don't like doing that because then next month, I'll be behind in bills if I can't pay the total amount. But when I checked my online account, I saw that I was SO close (less than $100) in paying it all off, that I just did it. The payment will go through on Monday, so I am going to call on Monday to cancel the account.

It will be gone! Cut up and GONE.

I have one more cc to pay off (about $2400.00) and that is one of my goals for 2008. Once that is paid off, I will also cancel that account and will live without a credit card! No more!

I just wanted to share. Even though it meant getting behind a bit in my other bills, I still am glad I did it.
