As most of the peeps who read this know, I have been clawing my way out of a bad credit hole for quite some time. I'm divorced, and I stupidly while married let my ex do some things that landed me in this hole. He did some sans permission that dug it deeper. But I let it happen, whether by actively ignoring or passively not paying enough attention. And I've been paying for it.
I've reached a new level on my digging out.
I've been approved for a high interest, let us hose you type of credit card. But its the unsecured type. Its a low limit, which I'm fine with, and I read the fine print.
It'll cost me to have this, but I figure that after a year or so of steady record on it, I'll be able to qualify for an unsecured low limit/low interest card account through my credit union. Then I can ditch the expensive card.
That's the plan anyway. This is another step int he process.
I'm getting there. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there.
Even if the lenders don't think so, I'm really happy about being able to show a steady paying off of the bad stuff, and steady continuing of paid bills & the like since I left my ex. To me, anyway, it means that I'm better off without him. Its affirmation of instinct/intuition.
It means I can make it w/o anyone if I need to. Which is very VERY important. That knowledge keeps me sane.

If Doc may be so bold he would like to bore you with his thoughts on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe need for self esteem in a 4 lover polyamorous marriage is even greater than in a "normal" marriage/relationship. However good the relationships are within the group, there just has to be more give and take than in a classic two people affair.(Mathematically speaking 6 times as much) It requires you to be stronger and more assertive. Having a lousy marriage and a worse divorce behind you, could have given you a feeling of failure. Now though, you are fighting back, and reclaiming your rights in this world by paying off someone else’s debts. Chapeau.
