That’s great that you’ll be paying off your debt next year! You’ve made some serious progress. I know what you mean about looking at the student loans and realizing that it was money supposedly wasted since you didn’t finish the program. I got my degree, but I’m not using it now. Just chalk it up to life experience, and really you wouldn’t be the same person today if you hadn’t had those experiences and paid for them. Also, you’ve got something to teach the rest of us when you get all the debt paid off.

Congrats on paying your credit cards and other loans, Mel!

Lynnae, your article is a great one! My Financial Independence Day is a little different, mostly centered around deciding how and when I work instead of working because I don’t have any choice. Although I enjoy my job now, I now that when my wife and I have children, I will want to spend more time with them than I do at work. ;)

Today is my FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!

Funny that you should write about this today because I, just this afternoon, made the last payment on my credit card. We now have NO debt…zero…notta…not a mortgage, car loan, student loan, credit card…nothing.

It feels sooooo good! Especially in this economy. Now we need to concentrate on building up savings, and then on to investing!!

I love this, Lynnae. Just the motivational booster I needed to keep me going on the right track! I’m stumbling it.

Congrats to you. I have no CC debt but plenty of student loans. It will take quite some time to get those taken care, but it’s the price of getting the education I want! Yikes! Great post.
