That’ll teach me to get complacent when I think I’ve done away with my credit card bills. I got another one from Bank of America today, after I had closed it several months ago. Granted, it was only for $10, but shouldn’t a big payment after the cancellation be the end of it? I’d better get this payment out to them before my credit takes yet another hit. *sigh*

…and only one step back this time. With only $513 or so left on my Bank of America credit card bill to pay off, I decided to just say “damn it all” and use the unused portion of my tax refund/paycheck to pay it all off at once. It’s a small step up, as now I only have to worry about keeping my current credit card’s balance under control (i.e. under $1,000). God(s) help me when it actually comes time to replace my damn computer…

…ten steps away from actual freedom. About two months from now, I should finally have paid off the credit card that I obtained in college, and cancelled about two years after I left college in order to get one with a more reasonable interest rate. Right now, the balance is currently sitting somewhere around $600, and it was hovering around $5,000 at its peak. Hey, the money for those college books and that personal computer had to come from somewhere, didn’t they? Soon, I’ll be left with a single credit card that I use sparingly, and a student loan bill which can only be expected to be reasonably paid off in ten years. It’s not an impossibility…really, it isn’t. As long as I keep telling myself that, I should do just fine.

Oh, how I dislike paying bills. I also dislike having to borrow money for college and books to pay for my bills, and therefore ending up paying back more in interest. It’s a vicious cycle, but it’s one of the cycles of life, I guess. Luckily, I’ve been able to whittle my credit card debt down to a manageable $3,000.

(Say what?)

Well, okay…Three G’s might sound like a lot for people to pay…and it still is. However, I have a plan. If I can pay at least $250 every year (taking interest into account), I should have this completely finished in less than two years. However, my bill for this domain is due next month, so that might slow me down a bit. As for my student loans? Psh…forget about it. I’ll be clawing at that for almost a decade. Damn you, rising tuition costs! *angry fist-shake*
