Comment on this post with what you've achieved over the past week! Let us know what you're going to do over the next week!

I just made the last payment on my credit card. The balance is $0. I am aware that I might have to pay a couple of dollars interest to close it, but that sucker is GONE!

\o/
Before next week, I will: Cancel the credit card

My achievements this week(ish) are actually expenses & indulgences. That seems odd, in the context of this community, so I want ot say I am posting not to go "nyah nyah lucky me" but to affirm there is nothing financially irresponsible about treating yourself well when you can safely afford it, it is allowed. Which is hard for me to remember sometimes --anyone else?

I paid for yoga classes, 10 in advance because there's a 30% discount. I know I will use them, and they're good for my physical and mental health, and motivate me to do other healthy things like drink water and bicycle (because I bike to/from yoga).

I am taking vacation --I have a ton of paid vacation time saved up which I hardly ever use because I hate to get behind at work, but most of my job functions will be on hold for a week at the end of the fiscal year and I am not wasting the opportunity.

I bought plane tickets, on credit (because I know I will be able to pay them off before I have to pay interest on the charge) to visit a friend and a sweetheart on the aforementioned vacation

and consequently I am motivated for the rest of the month by really really awesome vacation plans that do not involve any out-of-pocket expenses except travel, since both the friend and the sweetheart will put me up and feed me, and we shall have brilliant times together just working in the garden, without going to Disneyworld or any such thing.
