On Let’s All Throw Some Money at Our Problems: January 2013 Check-In

@ArizonaTime Ha! I set up my savings accounts this way, too, only I'm using a different bank for my high yield account. And I'm *way* behind on emergency savings, unfortunately.

@ArizonaTime I've read the same thing on the PersonalFinance subreddit about closing cards. I'll keep my store cards open, and let them age while I work on paying off my remaining cards.

I have been waiting for this post since, um, last month's post! I paid off three cards - two store cards, and a Visa. All with embarrassingly low balances that I wonder why I didn't pay them off sooner. I think the trick is that I'm not using them anymore, or don't plan to unless there is a dire emergency that can only be solved by me buying lunch with one of my store cards. In which case, look for me to ask if I can submit that as a guest post in the near future.
