the saddest little sight ever...

kallison · Feb 4th, 2007, 07:27 PM

it's almost too painful to look at...all that potential for new purses and shoes...

i paid this card off completely in october...and by december, it was completely maxed out again (and that was after two credit increases).

but i know it's not reasonable to keep maxing out a card, when i don't even have a job (i do have the cash to pay most of it off, though). i cancelled 4 other cards earlier this week, too.

so maybe i'm going in the right direction? trying to avoid future troubles? i did the right thing, didn't i?!

You DEFINITELY did. Congratulations on getting on your way to being free from debt. The feeling is way better than carrying any designer purse!

Oh you definitely did the right thing. get your finances sorted, save for a bag, you will enjoy it much more than having the worry of how to pay for it afterwards.

kallison · Feb 4th, 2007, 07:42 PM

so now i have 4 cc's left: my macy's card, my bank of america, a paypal one (have no idea why i'm holding onto that one...), and a best buy one (which i'll pay off before the 0% is up). oh, and my debit card- but that doesn't really count.

Yes, you did the right thing!!! I don't think it's a sad sight! It's a very positive thing! Congratulations!

Good job!

YES!! Go, Kallison!! :)

TOTALLY off topic, but is your bed spread from Target? The Isaac Mizrahi (sp?) line?? If so, I have the same one!! :)

ladystara · Feb 5th, 2007, 12:18 AM

Good for you! Maybe you can wean yourself in paying off the balance every month on all your other cards :)

yes! i searched EVERYWHERE for a cute pink bedspread- and i was so happy to find an inexpensive one at target! i had those stripe sheets that matched it, but those were just too bright, even for me! but isaac mizrahi puts out SUCH cute stuff! i love it!

that would be awfully hard to do...ideally, yeah. but not at this point.

LouisLady · Feb 5th, 2007, 05:43 AM

Cut up your Macy's card,Paypal card and your Best Buy card and you'll be in an even better place.Nothing beats peace of mind,and being deep in cc debt isn't a place to achieve it.Looks like you are headed in the right direction.
