"Free" Money

As Marcus and I worry about finances we are reminded that God can provide for us in many unexpected ways. We have been diligently reducing our debt to prepare for children for the past few years. We are happy to be down to one credit card that will be gone just in time for the arrival of the babies. We used credit cards way too much in college and have spent our 30s (at least the first part) ridding outselves of the sins of our 20s.

Today, Marcus called to divide that last card into 2 balances with 0% APR. Balance transfer deals come in the mail daily! He called Citibank who we have a card with that has not been used in years and we have a $2269 credit. Yes, that is right, somehow we overpaid them by $2200.

I have no earthly idea how, but we happily transferred $2200 from our last big card over to this one. Amazing!
