    Default I'm excited to write the check!

    I'm excited to write the check for ds's braces tomorrow when they put them on. Yep I'm an odd ball!! First we heard a person can't~ not have CC or car payments. We got rid of them. Friends said everyone needs a loan for braces~ ah we saved it! I think it is good to be an odd ball! I'm very proud of us!!! Frugality and paying attention to those pennies sure works even without a monster income

    Way to go nodmicks! That is something that most people wouldn't even think to pay in cash without financing. You're an inspiration (says the woman with 2 kids who will need braces soon)!

    Yep Emily 5%. It all helps! Now on to other goals.

    THANKS SO MUCH for letting me share. If I told my IRL friends they would say you were bragging not joyously celebrating breaking free of the debt trap

    Ours paid 1000~ butter than nothing.
    I was surprised how much easier it is for them to put braces on now days. Ds's mouth feels fine. Oh and they have pretty colors! I hope it goes easily for your ds also.
