Happy Dance today!! My first credit card goal to pay off (3 this year)..is PAID OFF.. As of January, 2020 this was $1100 & I was 3 months late paying it off at the end of December 2019. I was getting overwhelmed and stressed about it.. I started following #thebudgetmommethod and tracking every one of my dollars and spending.. putting some financial goals down on paper - started with my Get Personal with Pattie pages, blog & TV show.. and that's how it all started.
It feels good to have ONE credit card paid off ... onward to the next one. Smaller payments weekly & then my normal monthly payment will help me to get these paid off quicker. It doesn't matter how much you owe on credit cards.. I just don't want to feel 'tied down' to credit card debts. I want to teach myself to pay cash and/or once my credit cards are $0 to use it & pay it off monthly (for rewards, etc.)
This is a HUGE accomplishment for me.. I can 'preach' budget all I want..but unless I do it along with you, it doesn't count! I'm ready to tackle the next one!
