    Default I did it!!!!!!!

    I haven't been posting much. Just hunkering down and getting it done... but I am now debt free!!!!!

    Last payment will hit the checking account Friday.

    It's a little surreal... I don't think it's hit me yet since I spend the next 11 days in super frugal mode until the next paycheck comes in.

    I'm gonna buy new tennis shoes to celebrate... the ones I'm wearing are looking grim. Then save, save, save! I may own a house some day

    That is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!


    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!"

    Congrats! Yes, it is a little strange at first, being FREE! But you'll be surprised at how fast you can save now that interest payments aren't sucking you dry every month.

    Thanks everyone. I knew I'd get a "Way to Go" or two here... my friends just go "Oh Thank God, Does that mean we don't have to listen to you talk about it anymore?"

    I suspect I've been a little fixated
