Why I just Closed some old Credit Cards
I just went through my little pack of credit cards and saw that I had a Sears master card that I have NEVER used.
In fact the card was not even activated and still had the little sticker on it. I called to activate the card and then promptly closed it out.
Now we all know how the general nugget of wisdom in the personal finance world is that you should not close old credit cards, even if you no longer use them. This is in order to show that you have a larger amount of available credit to potential lenders.

I sent off some more credit card payments to satisfy the creditors. It feels really good to see all of the debts going down, even if some are really going down slowly. I have not added to the debt burden yet so I also feel good about that.
