Default Paid Off Our Last Credit Card
I just paid off our last credit card tonight! The only debt left is my wife's car, which should be done in July or August - almost two years early.

We would have been debt free awhile ago, but I have been paying for my college (Bachelor degree) with cash. I am scheduled to graduate in June, so I won't have to worry about tution after that!

Praise God that he gave me the resources to do so!

That's great. Congrats. And I second what Joshua said. Never carry a balance again. If you don't ALREADY have the money in your account to pay for the purchase, don't buy it. Credit cards should only be used as a convenience and to earn the rewards. They should not be used to go into debt for things you can't really afford to be buying.

Good on you! I wonder how many of your fellow graduates will go to their convocation in such great shape to tackle the next step in life.
