Squee!

We just made our last Visa payment!
The credit card debt is GONE!
Over $15,000, paid off.

*happy dances, only to be flooded with medical bills*

My congratulations are sincere & admiring. What is the secret to your success? We're also (like most Americans) struggling with debt, and I'm very open to advice and tales of triumph.

We're still in debt.
We've been gnawing at the Visas since 1997.
Paying all the minimums, and putting what extra we can where we can.

Basically, me getting a job that pays $1600/mo instead of $1000 has been the catalyst.

Congratulations. That's quite an achievement, and most welcome, I'm sure, after 10 years of effort.

Congratulations on the payoff, and commiserations on the medical bills. I may be in for back and neck surgery very soon, and will have to come up with 20% of that.

That's a damn hard debt to work out from under. Much congrats.

Congratulations! I'm still in debt myself, though happily less so now, what with the steady paycheck and the low APR on the credit card.
