Good bye Credit Card(s)

My summer breaks from High School and College were always filled with fun times in the sun lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, and eventually managing the swim lesson program.  I made great money (relatively) which enable me to not work (usually) during the school year.  My last summer break I decided to keep a part-time job/internship with Smooth Fusion which in the long run landed me in Seattle and now with Telligent.  While the long run has paid off the short run brought quite a bit of credit card debt.  Like any responsible college student I said screw it and had a great last semester and Winter break before joining the working stiff world.

After making a final balance transfer to a Chase United Mileage Plus card and racking up 23,000 miles Party!!! I paid the damn thing off today!!

Whew, that felt great!

Now I just have a car payment looming for the truck I recently purchased.  Soon enough though.
