It is a great feeling to be debt free. It's like no other. I'm with you... goal was to get rid of all my debt before my 30th birthday (in 1 week). i made it!! student loan paid off at 28, then car and cc at 29). started plan in '02. got serious in '06. I have $30 in my savings account, but i don't owe a SINGLE person. 35%-60% of my income will now go to my savings. so SCREW THEM ALL!!! If we have to slave - i mean work - everyday of our lives, let us lessen the burden by getting the highest return for our hard work - ALL SAVINGS, MORE TIME, NO BILLS, AND WEALTH!! NO BILLS = LOTS OF FUN!!! I thank God for giving me the insight to see the light to secure my future as best I can. Congratulations Ron!
