Default Re: Finally have a budget, in the 'black'!

Congratulations! Once you've got that CC debt under control, you should look at using the money you were putting into reducing debt each month into an investment (such as a mutual fund).

(not the best idea to plan for the future)

It leaves me with about 200 to send on the CC each month, which will take 2 years to pay off (according to the wonderful calculator on here .) which is far to long, though we will be getting some bonuses to put torwards it in the spring. Anyway 2 years is too long!
