I'm sure some of you can relate - I just can't help sharing my joy. I finished paying off our auto loan with my paycheck yesterday! That means only two more loans to go - about 10 months on the longarm and 15 months on the house and then we are completely out of debt! (Knock on wood!) This goal is one of my main reasons for that "fabric diet" badge on my sidebar.

ReplyDeletehappy friday
Great news Patti,
ReplyDeleteI too have 3 loans to be paid before I can retire. I am hoping that will be in 92 weeks.
I have plenty to keep me stitching without any further purchases.
Of course, if you keep on showing those lovely quilts you make, I may have to buy a yard or two :>)
I can understand your glee. That is my goal also and exactly why I have been on a fabric diet too. Congrats!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news...that light is getting brighter and brighter at the end of the retirement tunnel.
ReplyDeleteIf I have a roof over my head and my sewing machine I can make it through anything!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Happy days are coming!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I so know about the happy dance that will be coming. I'm hoping to have my husband's student loans pay off by 2009. Then we get to start all over with a house loan! ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's no greater freedom than debt freedom! We are down to the house payment and may be able to end that one this year. Congratulations to you!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Patti! Retirement will suit you perfectly! It's been great only buying stuff that I actually need to complete a quilt. I'm still going strong too with the no buy!
ReplyDeleteI paid off my car last September and I have loved having that money each month to save or pay off something else. I just pay that payment to something else and not the car people! I wish my house was paid off but at least it's the only bill we have!
Congrats on the loan payoff. What a great feeling. And I'm so glad to hear that your finger is healed!
ReplyDeleteWe made our last pickup payment this month. That just leaves the mortgage but we are still at least a decade away from retirement. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about posting about the same issue - I'm still getting lots of questions from no-reply addresses. Sometimes I take the time to track people down but for the most part don't. I hate not answering questions but it's too time consuming when there's no email address.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your loan repayment. Having a plan to be debt free is great - and quite an achievement in this day and age. Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats - you'll be at retirement, debt-free, before you know it.
