Waving a Fond and Enthusiastic Farewell My credit card and I have had a great relationship over the years. I�ve mostly been kind to it, making sure it wasn�t being charged interest, paying off things at the end of the month, etc etc. But for the past six months, my credit card keeps scowling at me and issuing �finance charges� left right and centre. In short, I was in the poo. But today � this wonderful 27th day of April � is the day I became best friends with my credit card again. I eased his pain and suffering and turned his debit amount into a big, fat, juicy ZERO. Ahhhh. And I am now resisting the urge to go and buy myself something nice to celebrate being debt free. The positives of temp work do get a little outweighed by a few negatives. Not being sure of when your next job is, how much you�ll be paid the following week, if you need to set aside an arm and a leg to pay for petrol costs, etc. Since returning from Finland I�ve been struggling to get the bugger down to zero and I�ve finally done it. Now it�s time to start saving for our NZ trip and new wardrobes for the bedroom. I can hear the Debt Monster rubbing his evil little paws together in the distance. Back you foul creature, back I say!
