Today I paid off the smallest but most expensive of my credit cards!!
In fact I count it a massive victory.
I have to and want to because it took a lot of effort. It was also easy, but that's the odd thing about matters of discipline...
I've spent the past few months on the first lap of a very long: working my way out of the financial nightmare I let myself get into due to lack of discipline in managing money.
It's cost me effort, a great deal of frustration & quite a bit of attention. I survived a reality check that was shocking to say the least. It's given me some incredible moments of satisfaction and a sense of victory and achievement that I can't describe. I've discovered that I have a man in my life who is more than rock solid and that I trust immensely. I've been blessed with an incredible amount of help which has nearly made up the fact I had no way of doing overtime in August or September. Help I didn't directly ask for but that God put into place in the kind of way only He can. Praise be to the King.
I've paid the card off a month earlier than we'd planned. That means the whole schedule is forward a month. In turn that means that I loose out less interest on what now been paid off by my discipline & others' gifts & love...
Bring on the second lap! Is all I can say...
