Fifteen thousand dollars.
That's the amount of debt I accrued in 7 years. And the only reason I'm out of it is because of a husband who is financially responsible and who provided the support to let me/us pay off as much as we did as soon as we did.
Ten years ago, when I was desperate to leave California and start anew, I had nothing. The minimal amount of money I saved didn't account for much and was gone probably instantaneously.
So I worked, but not enough to afford to live on my own plus shop to pretend I had a normal life. So I made it work the best I could—and made some not-so-responsible choices with credit cards along the way. Not to mention I have an ex who used our emergency credit card for multiple non-emergencies and I carried that with me, not wanting to fight him to pay it off. Ugh. What was I thinking?
Well, guess I have the last laugh because today, yes, today that debt is gone! It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, and there's freedom! So much freedom!
It's addictive, this feeling of being free.
And I cannot wait until the rest of the debt is paid of.
T's car is now officially paid off as today, too! This was such a great day!
We are making big strides toward being debt free and I love it!
Thank You, God, for providing such an amazing husband that he would help me achieve such a goal! Here's to being care-full with our finances!
