    How lovely to be at the lowest rate in 16 years. Progress is progress. Keep it up. You are doing well - and one day you will look up and be paying off the last card.

    There’s a few apps where you can sell your used books/cds/DVDs you don’t get much but once you’ve used them, box them up and use the money to pay your debts.  I use ziffit but there are a few available
