Finally current on bills!
Yes, it's the very first baby step, but it feels GREAT already!!!
We just got current on our bills, thanks to annual bonuses. And we actually paid off two small credit cards in full, also! So now it's time to start the ball rolling!!!
This board is SOOOOO encouraging and makes it all seem very do-able!
Thanks!

Congrats, I know exactly how you feel. Due to our tax return, we were able to finally get current on our bills. It truly is an awesome feeling not to be behind.
