It got up to almost 45k because we were not doing well with budgeting and I was staying home with the kids. Weve been paying it down over the last year since she started working but shes been doing so well that she reached her bonus earnings well before anyone thought she would. She ended up getting a bonus of 65k before tax which we used to completely wipe out the rest of our CC debt and start building a decent emergency fund. It feels amazing to not have that weight on our shoulders any more
