Default Huge relief brag :grin:

I feel so awesome about this I wanted to brag it out

when I was 19 (3 years ago) i went backpacking and somehow managed to get 3 credit cards "just incase" i needed some emergancy money. 1 year later and I'd maxed them all out being a wannabe balla all over the world and I came back with 3 debts of £1k, £2k, and £1.5k, so about $9k in total. last week I cashed out $10k on full tilt and it came through today from neteller so I just paid them all off [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] annnd i still have a $10k rollyo

Brag: debt free finally
Beat: took me 3 years
Beat: Was paying about $200 a month off just to cover the intrest
varience: wasting the monies on backpacking was well worth it

extra beat: all prob go bust and have to use them again at some point

Nice work. Pay the full balance off each month, don't let this happen again.

Solid brag.

I cleared all my debt through poker and doing that feels better than anything I could buy.

cheers guys [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. yeh i am really happy about this, i never thought i'd be able to pay them off. especially as i am still a student. and i never ever thought i'd be able to pay them all off just through playing poker!

buddyQ: i'm going to try never use them again so hopefully I won't have to worry about paying them off each month

here's what you're not supposed to do (as exhibited by me):

1. have 11k of credit card debt
2. have your online roll at 11k
3. deposit into BeTheDealer for a $1000 bonus with which the profits will be the new starting bankroll when you withdraw this $
4. be up $1600 at BTD with ~$1000 of wagering left
5. lose it all somehow, including $1000 deposit
6. lose the other 10k chasing it through Party BJ and Betsson BJ

similar situation - this was only 4 months ago, and since then I've been on 2 month-long trips and bought some stuff

I predict UNSTUCKO at the end of Sept.
