hungry hungry hippos.

so... guess what?

all our credit cards are payed off in full!! isn't that amazing? it only took years. i am sure we only payed a couple THOUSAND in interest. (and don't worry we still have student loans!)

small steps. progress is good. and neither of us are allowed to have immediate access to credit cards... they make us do crazy things!

what do you think we bought with all those cards? when we started dating we had eight or ten cards between the two of us. what company is their right mind would give 22 year olds access to thousands (and i mean thousands) of dollars??? we have no restraint. correct that. we HAD no restraint, right? ;)

Good job you two! I went a little crazy with one of my cards over the Christmas holiday, so I know the feeling. I'm taking out loans to do this whole pharmacy thing, so I've also welcomed myself into world of student loans. Yuck! At least I won't have to start paying them off for four more years.

I couldn't possibly imagine what you could have purchased with those cards. Actually, I probably just don't remember all that was purchased between your cards and mine, it's a little fuzzy.

YAY for you guys! Seriously! When I think of the debt I am going to have on student loans alone, it makes me want to vomit. So so so so happy for you!!!
