I paid my final payment on $14,000 credit card debt this past friday. I haven't been debt free since 17 (now 25). 2 years ago my CC debt was at 14K+ and I realized something needed to be done. I actually sat down and went over my finances, realized that I had no reason to be so broke all the time and be so much in debt. The hardest was starting but then it became gratifying to pay my balance down. I was paying 750$ a month towards my balance and really stopped buying anything that wasn't necessary. After my last payment I had 800$ left over to save and my girlfriends cars coil springs broke in the front end and I had to pay for the repair cause she can't right now. So I am back to being poor till next payday. But atleast I dont have debt.
What I really wanted to say was that I don't feel as great as I thought I would. I feel the same as before when I had CC debt. I guess it'll kick in once I start saving now. I'm excited to save my first 1000$. I just went over my budget again and I should be able to put away 1K a month. So here it goes..
This post was also made as a humblebrag, hopefully you guys don't mind.
