So I had been unemployed since May and my wife had been worse-than-unemployed (i.e.: she was a 1099, so no unemployment insurance) even longer, so we had built up some credit card debt. I finally started a new job two weeks ago, got paid (for 1 week) on Wednesday, and -- since my bills aren't due until after I get paid a second time -- I used the entire ~$1100 to make a large dent in said credit card debt.
