It is official. The tax refund hit our account this morning. I just paid off the Chase VISA. We are officially OUT of credit card debt! After 10 years of being in it, and the last 7 of working very, very hard to pay it off, we have fired our last shot at the Evil Empire and we sunk their battleship.
And now it's time to start to upgrade our rickety picket fence (baby EF) into a wall of stone. I added $1000 to the EF, put $1000 into the MacBook Fund. The other $1903 I'm not sure what we are doing with yet, we're waiting until after vacation, so I transferred it to ING with the rest of it, just so it's out of our account and can't be frittered away.
The new EF amount is $2835.35. I am adjusting my goal of $1900 by the end of February to $2900.
And cue music...
I'm walking on sunshine, woo ooo,
I'm walking on sunshine, woo ooo,
I'm walking on sunshine, woo ooo,
And don't it feel good!
Out of Credit Card Debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when we hit that day and I wondered why there weren't fireworks going off and a band playing or something? Maybe that'll happen when we payoff the mortgage.
