    Smile Knocked another debt out today I am so happy

    3 down 2 more to go.

    The one we knocked out today was our biggest one ( besides the mortgage) it was also the highest interest rate, 29.999%. I am so happy it is gone gone gone gone.


    We started the paying off our debts about 2 years ago.

    When we started we were paying minimum payments on this card and even that wasn't easy then. The box that says how many years to pay off at minimum payments said 55 years (I posted how happy I was when that came down to 53 years) Now that box will say 0 years.



    Our debt ( not including mortgage) is now more than half gone.
