    AWESOME! On to Step 2, and FREEDOM!!!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Great job! We decided to fund our EF after we paid off our debts. I'm happy you got your EF all done.

    yes, it is a GREAT feeling, but I am scared to death that little (or big) things will start happening...... The last time I got close to having it, everything kinda fell apart....and then I never got it built back up again....So, as I said before, MURPHY STAY AWAY!!!!!!


    And thank you for all of the congrats!!!!!

    Awesome!!! I know what you mean about Murphy's law. When it seems everything is caught up, something goes wrong.

    Congratulations! *crossing fingers* Since we fully funded our baby ef, Murphy has stayed away! It's almost like "You're prepared, why bother?"
