$1106 left on my credit card!

I have been in credit card debt for 10 years. The highest was $17,000 and it's taken me two years to get down to $1106.00. Hurry. Hurry. I'm getting soooooooooooo impatient for it to be over. I have my "new" credit card free budget ready. I just can't seem to pay it off soon enough. I'm still contributing 23% of my money to short term savings and retirement so there's not a lot of "extra" money around.
I don't have anything to sell. (I haven't purchased much in the last two years!) Trust me I looked. No one owes me any money. I have a small project that I can do tonight at my second job. That will bring in $25.00.
Oh and my doctor called and told me I need to call him back and make an appointment. Another $25? Can't it wait?

You are so so so close! It's such an awesome feeling! Do you have a count down going, how long until you are credit card debt free?

Yep - don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Keep your heath together -- you'll be debt fee soon!

Woot woot! The end is in sight! When the end is so close, I think it's okay to shift the 23% savings/retirement towards paying off the cc debt. I would.

Ooo you are so close!!! If I were you I would pause on saving so much and just pay off the debt. Freedom is so close!!!!
