Today I paid off two credit cards in their entirety. I am mightily pleased with myself; my profligate past is slowly coming under control, and I am freeing up enough lines of credit to finance a profligate future my cashflow might soon begin to look a little rosier.

Whatever its benedits or disbenefits at a national level, there is much to be said for applying a little Freedmanesque monetarism to the old wallet. That said, Keynsian economics is far more fun.

Until the bill arrives.

Still, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't had fun running up the debt, my credit cards financed two longish holidays in the US, and any number of trips to Germany, Sweden and Belgium.

Can't complain.

Paying off my card and my overdraft is like some distant dream right now, how long did it take you to pay them off if I may ask?

Well done, Bwy. I hate dealing with money, so my dear wife deals with the bills. If you've had to pay them off for such pricey jaunts, I imagine you've had them hanging over you for quite a while. Being debt-free is indeed a blessing.

Let's just say that I haven't been to the US since August 2000!

Aye.

Not debt-free just yet, but a little closer.

Thankee, My dear.

Still more debt to go, though. Still, a bit less here and there does no harm at all.
