Watching the interest grow is oh so nice! We just decided to take a cruise this fall, and we’re paying cash! In the past we probably would have put it on a credit card, but now we’re loving the whole ’save up and pay cash’ mentality. It’s an awesome feeling not being in debt to anyone (ok, except our mortgage company).

Keep attacking! @Sue - Not leasing is a positive gain in your financial health! Nice job. @Pete - I like the interest too, but it is the freedom and security that is the most invigorating! @J Dawg – It took us a little while too, but when you get there it is a really great feeling.

@Sue – Not leasing is a positive gain in your financial health! Nice job.

I do have to give some credit to reading these financial blogs regarding my car buying decisions. Up to the day before we bought our preowned minivan I was still looking at leases as a viable option. Some how I just don't see leasing as going into debt as much as a car loan. Great job! I do have to give some credit to reading these financial blogs regarding my car buying decisions.

I got the debt paid off, $2500 in my ING account. It is nice to know that if I lost my day job that with my savings and part time job I could get by for at least a couple of months. Freedom gives you choices. I am not there yet but I am starting to feel the same way. I got the debt paid off, $2500 in my ING account.
