I am a college student and I got a credit card Freshman year with a balance of 2,000 dollars, I kept it clean and by sophmore year they had bumped it up to 3,000, and than I became irresponsible. Unneeded purchases left and right. I have been paying it off since with still 2,000 left and I am now a senior. I no longer buy unneeded things, but when I checked my APR it was a shocking %32.240. It is 4:30 in the morning my time, but I still called and within two minutes on the phone got my rate reduced to %15.74. I am still estactic, thanks so much for this article!

One you may have planned is “Find your Networth.” My husband and I just used the Networth IQ site to figure out our net worth and it took us under an hour. We just logged onto our bank, credit card, loan sites, etc and put the numbers into the form there. We’re going to use it to track our debt repayment, investment, etc. I think it probably will take less than an hour to update each month too.

Bad month for us, death in the family meant an expensive trip home, just 4 weeks before we were planning on going home (and had just paid for the flights a few days before). So finding ways to cut costs will be a priorty when we get back as this put a really big hole in our budget.

Reminds me of how amazed I am every time I take my change jar to the bank. Those pennies really add up! I’m sure the minutes will too.

I suggest that this is setting the bar rather low.

I realize that there are many people who have spending issues which this needs to be pointed out to, but for many (hopefully most) this is like telling a new mother “if you don’t feed that, it’ll die.”

Of course you DO have to spend less than you make, but that doesn’t begin to deserve anything I would call success. It’s just avoiding bankruptcy.
