Play the Game and WIN

Written by: Heather Peters

s are fast becoming a blight on the American economy,
but they also help stimulate growth. The problem comes when
users are forced to (or voluntarily) overspend and begin the
never ending cycle of paying less than the full balance on the
. At this point you officially have .

When we got married we had over $34,000 in outstanding s,
much of it on s. After sitting down to have a good
cry I got things into perspective. With a solid plan and the
determination to stick with it, we could have those s
completely paid off within a couple of years.

The time it takes to clear those s depends on your income
and ability to trim other expenses in order to funnel as much
money as possible toward those s. It does NOT mean that you

right time. If this is too time consuming for you, then you’ll
definitely want to look into your or
getting a consolidation loan to cover all your s.

I love numbers, I love math, and playing with money like this is
a game for me not a chore. So transferring balances to new
s every few months was fun. Watching those balances
shrink as I paid ZERO interest the entire time was a thrill. I
felt victorious over the companies… and over my
. As a result we paid off over $34,000 in s in about 18
months. When you’re not paying any interest and you don’t stray
from the plan it can work. It really can. You don’t have to love
the game in order to win it. You just have to keep playing and
don’t lose sight of the goal. Pay off the .
