I guess that's all that's really left to do is to just look forward and learn the lesson. And at least I'm not alone on this. Not that I'm glad there's others. But let's definitely hold ourselves accountable so that we don't let this happen again! Thanks for stopping by! :) Thanks for the encouragement wealthy_1.

This post is very similar to what happened to us, with the figures being very close. Our citibank card was 6800.00 when all was said and done. I can account for $2000.00 being gifts, $1000.00 for a new computer for my daughter (hers died, and she's a senior in college). But what happened otherwise??? I have since "gotten over it", but it's the reason I started blogging. I do not want a repeat on next Christmas! I found your site through Wealthy1.

I'll bet that up until now you would have spent that money and had a debt hangover until at least June. I know I would have. But here it is February and you're getting yourself refocused and back on track. Obstacles are always in our way. We just have to figure out how to get around them.

What on earth for? Not that I'm judging, I mean...look at me...it's just, wow that's a lot. On a side note, it looks like I may be getting a little more for my tax return than I'd expected. Hopefully things won't be so far off track by this time next month. 6K in 20 days? What on earth for? Not that I’m judging, I mean…look at me…it’s just, wow that’s a lot.

Mr. Debtbeater, I can feel your pain! We just found out our credit card debt is going to increase by $6000 within the next twenty days. You are a real trooper to keep going with this setback, hang in there. Things can only get better. OH my goodness! Mr. Debtbeater, I can feel your pain!
