Citi Thank You Card Paid Off

It was really hard staying home and playing the frugal game the last 3 weekends but it finally paid off. I was able to send in the final payment to our Citi Thank You card for $1,500:



This is the card I was worried about back in May when the balance was over $2,000:

The balance actually went down to $1,500 around July 8th:

I added another $500 to it last week for IVF egg retrievals but I finally said enough and decided to pay it off. The bad part is that leaves us with $250 dollars until next payday which will be next Friday. Things like gas and groceries will come up and I have a birthday coming up which will probably mean more spending in August.

I should be under $10,000 in credit card debt by the end of August. That leaves Discover and Citi Forward. Not sure which card to tackle next but I may have to slow down a bit. I have more birthdays coming up and will probably need to spend $500 on gifts, food, wine etc. Better to spend cash than to charge it on the cards.
