Big Win Number 1

I have to say I’m pretty chuffed with myself. I paid off my first credit card today, woohoo

Credit Card 5 - $0 Paid in Full 21/09/2007

It was both my lowest balance and my highest interest rate, so regardless which snowball method you follow it’s all good. It was even one of those pesky store cards.

So the $345 that I was paying every two weeks on that one will now roll onto the next focus card, Credit Card 7.

    Thanks! It's pretty dramatic at the moment as I've been so mind-numbingly stupid with my money up til now.

    The next card is going to take a few months of throwing everything I've got at it to go away.

  3. Now that I am finally getting organised again I thought I might take you up on your offer to try and work out a cheaper phone option. Sorry to use the post to do it but I can delete it. If this is still ok can you email me? If not thats ok too, thanks
