$0.00...
Is my current credit card balance. It feels so fucking good to be out of debt after a year and a half of being in trouble, nearly maxing out multiple cards, being unemployed, and moving twice. Things seem to be turning around for me.
I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Nice! Two more $500.00 payments and I am down to $0.00. Next in line are the students loans and the Subaru. If only I can restrain from a new bike in the spring.

Good job man. Stay away from that crap. It's no fun paying far more for an item that it actually costs.
Luckily my parent's were super financially savvy and did their best to raise me to be the same. I've never once carried a balance on a credit card. Never paid a single cent of interest. And I use my credit card for everything.Last edited by meatdrink9; 09-16-2004 at 09:54 AM.

Nice work. I don't use a credit card, just debit. If I don't have the money in my account the items of want are not purchased. Kinda sucks at times when I see a great deal on skis or gear, but it's also great knowing I don't have a huge debt lingering over me.

Anyway, nice work DJS and make sure to keep that balance at zero!

I’ve done the same; the problem is that no credit is worse then not so good credit.
When the day comes for a large perches we may be screwed.

Congrats DJ.
Now, I just have to finish up the same process.

Congrads, DJ! That means that you'll have a blank slate to use for travelling to exotic destinations this winter, right?!?
I maxed out my card earlier this year while unemployed and skiing (TOTALLY worth it). I've got about $350 left to pay off, then I'm down to $0.00.
Then I can start paying back my other debts.

Congrats, dood. Once you've done, you know how good it feels, and you want to do it every month.
And don't anyone worry about how carrying over a zero balance looks on your credit. I've done it for many years, and my credit rating is very high.

Thanks for the props/advise guys. It all started when I left for NZ last year and was laid off from caltrans at the same time. I racked up a good chunk of debt on a 3 month NZ binge, slacked off on getting a job upon return to the US, spent too much during ski season, and now I'm in the clear, ahead 1 pair Atomic Powder Pluses, Volkl Explosives, and the Bro model.
I'd do it again in a second.I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.
