Step 1

Step One-

I just put through my last payment to my credit card. As of the 7th when it is posted, my credit card will have a zero balance. I will not be amassing any more credit card debt that I can not pay off in a month and was doing very well with this until the wedding planning. With better planning and a clearer budget this should not be a problem. Through this I hope we become good examples for our daughter. With financially sound parents she will learn that credit cards are not free money and how to pay bills on time. We also want to express to her that wants and needs are different and how to obtain both by practicing good money management skills.
