I did the same and passed around fake champagne in little plastic glasses. Works just as well as the good stuff.

I did that years ago. I got tired of paying every month, so I sent them a check for $47,000. It made a dent in my finances, but that’s when I really started making progress saving.

Of course now it’s an old house in a neighborhood that’s been taken over by illegals, so I don’t see myself getting my money back, heh. Guess when the time comes, I’ll do a quick sale to the “we buy houses” guys for whatever I can get — and then, get out. I’ll buy the next house somewhere far from here in a rural area where there “ain’t no diversity”, and just pay cash. That makes things easier.

I also keep only one credit card, which I pay off EVERY month whether it’s $30 or $3,000. Why should I pay them interest?
