I was looking through my cancelled checks to shred old records and found a check to you for Zilch written on 10/3/1999 for $34.00. Money well spent.

Thank you. Your program helped me get out of debt fast. Shortly after I started using Zilch I was eligible to buy a house and have almost never carried a balance into the next month.
Thanks again.
