Today's the day...

This morning I got up and checked that my direct deposit went in first thing. Like, before I even got in the shower. It had.

Which means...

I AM OFFICIALLY OUT OF CREDIT CARD DEBT!!!

Dude. I'm so stoked to have that done with. I made the payment right away, fist pumping my way into the bathroom to take a shower. The only consumer debt I have is my car, which I am hoping to pay off one year early.

It feels so good to be out of credit card debt. It took me one year to pay off just over $5,000. I have such a feeling of accomplishment and am so excited to be able to clothes shop again. You have no idea. But, it also feels good to plan a shopping budget and to know that a new dress or pair of shoes won't bring me into debt, causing guilt and stress.

My next post will be about shopping. Probably with pictures and vivid details about browsing the racks of the outlets, Marshall's, and Nordstrom Rack. :)

  5. Thanks everyone!
    @Jolie-the car is next. My student loan interest rate is super low, so the car is definitely top priority.
