Rejoice with me! I just paid off most of my credit card debt. My credit card is now down to $1500. Still a lot of money, but a LOT less than it was.

We have a little more money leftover from our tax refund, but we're going to pay our bills with it and then decide how much more money we can put down on the credit card.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The credit card is all my debt. I've been irresponsible with it and little by little it just kept getting bigger and bigger. It feels good to get it off my shoulders. I don't carry my credit card in my purse anymore, it lives at home until i REALLY need it (which, if i'm honest with myself, is never) I'm going to do better this year. Clearing off that much of the debt makes me feel like i have a clean slate, and that i can do better with my money this time.

The debt has really been hard on hubby too, always on his mind. He's feeling pretty good about it too, didn't complain once when we used almost all of our refund to pay it down even though there were things he really wanted to do with the money too.
