It's great to pay off credit cards. I could look at that "Amount Owed = $0" for days.

However.

When the lender says that our FICO score dropped significantly since last fall...WTF? I'll tell you. I was late for a $16 payment on one of the cards. The one the dog spent the weekend in the hospital with last summer. I owed less than $600 on it. They suck getting statements to me. I missed one. My penalty?

I may have to come up with more of a down payment. How much is more? Can't say.

The only thing I have left is my tax payments. I was hoping not to have to make more than one, but if I have to come up with a significantly bigger down, I'll have to use those moneies to get into the house and make payments to the IRS. The state won't wait - they're so pissed I underpaid this past year, they want this years AND next year's taxes NOW. No negotiation.

I could see all the money I wanted to spend going bye-bye. No new floors. No new stove. Etc.

Barf.

I sure hope not.

Have they found Saddam's body yet? Right. Yeah. Next to the WOMD.

Hell, I'd dance too, if people were pointing guns at me.

Woo, Saddam's gone. I am so fucking surprised.

I'm using Citibank's web option - http://www.myciti.com

You can load just about anyone else's web info there onto one page.

I have a whole page of "Amount Owed - $0." Ahhhhh.....

Now that's pretty cool. I remember what "amount owed: 0" used to look like, at least on the Amex. Alas, getting the rest paid is quite a sum and quite a ways off; a year of unemployment will do that to you. I just keep telling myself now it's all an investment and that once I get done with grad school I'll have the means to get rid of it.
