    Exclamation WARNING - paying bills can be addictive!

    I am on such an endorphine high right now... who knew that paying bills could give you such a rush???

    My car is paid in full.... all of March's bills have been paid, and we still have more money coming in next week.

    If I keep knocking them out at this rate, I think I may faint - seriously!

    Just had to share with people who won't think I am a complete nut-case.

    Anyone else get that special little tingle when they realize that not only have the ends met, but there is *gasp* extra????
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    When I paid off my HELOC a couple of weeks ago, I REALLY did feel light headed so I totally understand. I'm socking all that extra payment money to my savings account now, trying to build up that 8-month EF. Happy you're making such amazing progress. I think that's fabulous! Kudos to you.
    Totally debt free since January 2011.

    /me lines up behind Darlene with a mortgage payment or two for you to pay...
    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!"

    I feel the same way!
    It's kind of a warm feeling, specially if you're going to press the "submit" key.
