Why were you canceling if you already paid the yearly fee?



Or are you lying.

$3000ish.

My rental home had a bunch of shite happen to it. Then I had a car issue.

Sucks because I was just climbing out of the hole, but the work I did over the past year has put me in good position to pay it off quickly.

According to mint bills I currently have $1400 (6 different cards) in credit card debt & I will have them all paid off after the billing cycle they were made in comes due. I have $300 on a Lowes card that doesn't show up on Mint, but it's 0% til late 2016.

My wife and I have a 0% credit card ( til 2017) that has probably $2,000 that I ask her to pay.

I have a feeling only people that pay it off at the end of month will respond to this thread.


BTW, I don't think I've ever been in CC debt. Maybe because I didn't have one as a student.

Yeah, those people in the $30k hole aren't likely to respond.

I had plenty when I graduated but my dad paid them off as my graduation present.


Then I ran them up again and he paid them off as my wedding present

Currently $0 on last months balance. Prior to me graduating and finding a job, about $1k.

Probably about $6k on 0% APR. If they're gonna give me money at no charge for 12-18 mo ths I'm gonna use it to my advantage.

I wouldn't recommend that for financially irresponsible people though. I've never been charged interest on a CC.

I always pay it off every month. It's never really that much either. $200 maybe. Sometimes $0.

Not true if the interest rate is zero.

I have about $3000 on a 0% interest card right now. 0% doesn't end until January, so it'll be paid off by then.

$0. Pay it off monthly.

Five years ago: $33,567.31 on about 9 different cards. Took about 10 years to get it that high, but had to make the decision to get out of debt.

I don't have this magical story of digging deep and eating rice and beans to get out of debt. My wife and I got about $25,000/year in raises by getting new jobs and we just put everything extra toward the debt for about a year. Now we're able to save about $3k a month on top of retirement.

$1000? Pick up some odd jobs and pay it off and be done with it. Hang out on this board a little more than the OT and you'll pick some things up.
