One less bill to worry about
This coming week will lift part of my debt burden from my shoulders. My old Visa card, with which I racked up over $10,000 of debt in the late-2000s, will be completely paid off on Monday. My remaining accounts with debt aren't maxed out, but I have about $7,000-7,500 left to be completely out of debt. At least the former monthly $190 payments for my Visa card can go toward my MasterCard, dentist's credit account and checking overdraft account. If I put the same amount toward my remaining debt each month, it could possibly be paid off in 40 months.
