Somebody please get IVillage to create a deliriously happy or estactic icon!!!

WE ARE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should call in to Dave Ramsey's show :)

As of today, we sent the last payment to Visa for $849.00 :) It's been a long and sometimes very difficult road but we've made it, and it truly feels like we are at a new chapter beginning again with a clean slate to do things right this time.

Next stop - fully funding our emergency account.

I want to thank everyone on this board for your well wishes and support, I hope that more people get to know about this great support system for people who are in over their heads financially!

I definetely will stick around to encourage and support everyone who are still working towards being debt free (whatever your definition is of debt-free). I hope to join in many more celebrations big and small on the board!

The board party is June 30th so don't forget to post your motivational quotes or sayings as I plan to make a IVillage collage of your posts to remind me of what the dh & I have accomplished and to always have it to keep us in check.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Kassandra & dh :)

WOW!! You're giving us all hope to carry on & be debt-free. I would have been debt-free this yr. but with a new car loan, it won't happen until early 2006. I must be debt free by June 2006 when ds graduates from high school & colleges want their 1st down payment that summer. Not looking forward to big college bills but then education is an investment & after all we want the best for our kids or we wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place.

"You have changed your family tree" as Dave would say. How wonderful you must feel. My sincere respect for your hard work and sacrifice. You've reached your goal and now you have your greatest wealth building tool - your income. Now you will be working for yourself. Your dreams. Your goals. You are not tied down by your debts.

Congratulations,

Julie
