I paid off all our debts today!
Whew, that felt good.

My student loan from 1994, our car loan from Dec 2004 and a few odd credit card bills from Christmas and one at 1.9% that was from massage school.

Wowooo
You are the Queen! I can't wait for the day when I can call in the Dave Ramsey show and shout "I'm debt free!"

Yeah you! I'm so glad I'm not the only one trying to be debt free.

Go Girl!

That is really cool! It will be years before our student loans are paid off (we have a lot of them and they aren't even in repayment yet!) but we are getting our credit cards paid off. I will pay off one more with our tax return and deeply pay down what will be our last. I realized the other day that I have enough in savings that I could actually completely pay off our remaining credit card, but I think not having savings is what got us into credit card debt to begin with... well, just thinking out loud. LOL

Congrats!

I could have written that whole post.

CONGRATULATIONS Lauren! That is a blessing I can't wait to have as well.
