I was given about 120K of stock in my company at our IPO this spring. I sold 35K of it two weeks ago to pay off credit card debt. I sent the tax agencies their share and paid the debt off this week! The little bit that is left over is going into a savings account Im opening on Friday and the payments I was making each month to the card balances will be deposited into that account directly out of my paycheck. My husband and I are elated, I came into the marriage with this debt leftover from a previous bad relationship and it is now finally all behind me! I also received free trades at E-Trade for 60 days for moving my shares over to them and then got a 500 cash back bonus for referring my coworkers to do the same. Now Im looking to make smart financial decisions going forward with the goal of retirement at 55 I turned 30 this year.
