I used a service called Credit Card Debt Reducers who took interest off my card. And an overlimit fee.

They are the best I’ve found for lowering debt.

Also, if you save $60 a week, you’ll have $10k in 4 years. That’s pretty amazing. Now if only I could save $60 a week.

What I’m curious about (and you may have addressed this initially) is how much your debt and interest rate(s) was/were and how much you threw at it a week or a month or whatever and how long it took you to pay it off. But, if you already talked about that, or don’t want to go into TOO much detail, I understand

Congratulations!!!

Wow - this is great news!!! This is exactly what I’ve been saying for years. NO ONE has more interest in taking good care of your money than you do. No one can do a better job either.

People often think if they just earned more money, everything would be fine. Not true! Think of times you’ve gotten that raise at work and before you know it, it’s all being spent — and maybe more.

You’ve found the secret. It is NOT more, it is reallocating what you already have! It is asking the question: OK, if I get this, what will I have to give up?

Congratulations!
