Divorce Is Final!
Well, that's it and that's all! My divorce certificate arrived in the mail the other day -- the bloody thing looks like a diploma, like I won an award or something! -- and I gave my lawyer the final payment on her services. I am officially divorced.
I told
"I'm single!" He looked all mock-shocked and said, "You're not single!"
That's my sweetie.
FYI: Feels weird posting this in the Success Stories forum, but I wasn't quite sure where else to post it.

Working on being more frugal is that is possible!!
No cc debt----1 car payment
only payments are the necessities..house payment(which will be paid off in 6 years..or sooner I hope) and just your run of mill bills...grocery's, utilities, insurance..you know the icky stuff that goes on and on.

Doing the happy dance for you. I am still in the middle of mine and am green with envy over your "done with it" status. :-)
