People worry more about the amount on the cash register when they're checking out at a grocery store than they do their credit card balances.
I guess it's "out of sight. Out of mind".
I have finally reached a major lifetime goal. Took me a while to get there but now, at age 64, everything I have is paid off. The only bills I get in the mail are for utilities, cable + internet (same vendor), and TiVo (which I can no longer live without).
It shouldn't have taken this long, but raising a family introduces a huge set of variables.
Congratulations! That is a big deal. I have no credit card debt, however, have a mortgage and car payment.
