I've been having a hard time coming up with something to blog about today. I really like this blog to be craft related, but today all I did was go to work and come home! No crafting time at all! Not even at work. Sometimes I get craft time at work because things are slow, but not today. It was very busy.
Today, I paid off the credit card. When my husband and I moved here at the end of April, I had a job all lined up, but my husband didn't. It took him until mid-September to find a job, and he had to take a job he didn't want, jsut so that we could survive. For July and August, we were living on the credit card. I made enough money to cover the bills and rent, but food, gas, clothing, etc. was all paid with the credit card. Today, I was able to pay that off. Now, we can get started on saving more money up because we need a new car. And fast! But it feels good to get that accomplished.
I promised that we'd get a pizza when we paid off the credit card as a reward and we will. It's hard to allow myself this little luxery because I think, "that's money that we need to be saving up for the next crisis," but I made a promise that we would get a pizza as a reward for all our scrimping, and we're going to! I think that this reward is important and I want to be able to enjoy it. :)

Congratulations! Definitely worth a pizza.
Pinching pennies is so stressful. I recently hid all our credit cards so we wouldn't be tempted to keep using them.
Definite Congratulations! It always felt soooo good to me to get them paid off and gone!
Enjoy the pizza, don't forget the good movie! :D
Absolutely enjoy that pizza! It's so important to follow through once you've promised yourself a reward. Good job!
Congratulations! We paid ours off last winter, and it is such a wonderful feeling.
