208

208 by me and the sysop.
edit 6/29/09: in the event more consumerist people pop over here, i'd like to redeem myself and point out i've since gotten down to $9k (haven't been trying as hard as i should, i admit) and hopped over 700.

my 27th secret is a secret because i'm ashamed of it, but here it goes. i've got $13k in credit card debt, mostly racked up years ago from a combination of foolishness and being broke. thankfully i at least have decent APRs.

saturday i sat down and thought for a while and came up with a snowballing way to get it all paid off in 25 months. november will start my countdown to freedom and my reintroduction to being broke—30% of my gross income is budgeted to my debt.

my credit score has been hovering at 690 for a while. i'll starve if i have to in order to get it well over 700. i've got plenty of fat supply to live off of.

I was looking for an image that conveyed how a person can use credit to help others - although not exactly representative of the post - I loved the image too much not to use it ;-) it is on our site -

with an alt text attribution and a link back to this page.

Thank you
