Buh-bye Citi

I just tearfully paid off my Citibank Visa. I've carried around that debt for five years, and for what? A dress to attend a sorority (not mine) Valentine's Day ball? *Edited to add: I just found a picture from that damned ball. See the extended entry.* A few steak dinners with classmates? I hope at at least bought a few textbooks with all that money. ... I doubt it.

Hmm. I look almost waif-like.

Did I read that right? You paid on that dress for five years?

Are you going to cut up the card?

I have to admit that I cut that card up two or three years ago....it's taken me that long to pay down the late and overbalance fees.

I'm trying to remember what else I charged on that card...eh. I think I may have had a leech boyfriend or something....

*pinch you*

Congratulations. That's got to feel good.

I just paid off a card that went to collection because I didn't even realize I had a balance on it because I used one of those cash advance checks (it's through the same company, but I thought it was from my other card with them). Shouldn't have been using the damn checks int he first place, but at least the damn thing is paid off now. I suppose I really ought to call and close out that account.

One down, four to go.
