[Serramonte Center]

Long time no post eh?

I finally paid off my first ever credit card, one of those Wells Fargo Student ones, which I got waaaaaaaay back in 1994 [at DVC thank you very much!]. But in order to do it I had to cash out my FedEx 401K which has been sitting in limbo since I quit FedEx way back in 2001. I needed to pay for my tuition [$813, could ya believe it!] So I cashed it out, minus a phat @ss penalty, minus the FED taking taxes, and the remainder was almost $2200. Dayam. So I took out $900 cash for tuition and transfered the remaining $1250 into my account. Then I figured, what the heck let's get shave some of my debt. I asked the teller what my balance was -- $1245. So it was either pay half and have $$ in my pocket now, or pay it now and have $$ in the future. The decision was actually harder to make than it looks. But I gulped and told the teller to pay it off! Since Wells Fargo closed the account like two years ago, all I was doing was paying the interest. Now I just have student loans and a $400 Associate's Bank card.
