Always a good feeling to have it paid off. We ran up one card quite a
bit when we were in AZ the year Steve was in Korea and Rachel got
married (actually about 16 months, bit over a year) but paid it all off,
bit by bit. Had (still have) a low interest card; at one point I talked
them into dropping the interest by 1% as a loyal customer.
CS> I have available cash now but it's my emergency funds.
I do too, "bug out" money in case we need to hit the road to avoid a
storm and can't use credit cards if machines are down.
