I share this with you as many of you know I have been struggling for this about seven years. And alot of your advice early on helped me get started and keep the momentum going.
Few will know I had debt and fewer will know I am out of debt, But since it started here I just wanted to shout out about it one time.

Thanks.

Way to go!

Wonderful...its a great feeling of freedom not many people have.

Been working on that as well. Home mortgage is last holdout. Really proud for you.

Living debt-free is LIVING.

I paid off a large credit card last week (my last one) and will pay off my graduate student loan this week. I'm very close to being able to join you. What a relief to you and your family. You have my respect sir.

ONE OF THE GREATEST FEELINGS IMAGINABLE. AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE EXPENDABLE $$$.

Congratulations Gary.

Congrats. Glad for you.

We hit that point about a year and a half ago, after many years of recovering from a few brief years of short term fun traded for long term misery in a roller coaster economy.

It is a wonderful feeling to be able to not worry or even really care if an incoming check will arrive today, tomorrow or next week.

Many years ago my Dad said once in response to some one's cliché Money Can't Buy Happiness:
"Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can alleviate a lot of misery."

We are right behind you. Five years of dedicated effort is showing signs of paying off.
