A little more about that debt

Yep, that’s right; I finally admitted how much credit card debt we were carrying. When I reported our net worth last month, I was a little embarrassed by the debt load, and that’s why I didn’t report it specifically. You may be asking how the heck we wound up with over $20,000 in credit card debt. Well, here goes:

Kitchen countertops (Corian); bedroom furniture; $2000 of my LASIK operation; my PI class (was $4995; have since gotten $1000 back); a trip to Prague (vacation); a trip to Austin, TX (funeral); a couple of gadgets; surely some clothing; probably many books.

While we’re not what you’d call frugal, we’re not exactly spendthrifts either. The fact that we could still rack up over $20,000 in credit card debt is kind of scary, and frankly I’m very relieved it’s gone.
