I just wrote the check for my last credit card payment and am now back to being debt-free!
My story in a nutshell:
1997-2001
Paying off $29K debt (for the long version of this see the following post in the archives)

2001-2003
Living debt-free and saving which led me to be able to quit my soul-killing job when I got to the breaking point with my horrible boss, even though I didn't have another job lined up yet.
2003-2004
Un/underemployed; spent down my savings and back to $7K in debt.
2004-Today
Paying it off again (thankfully a lot less this time and a much better salary to do it with).
Today
Back to debt-free and on the savings road again!
Good thoughts to everyone still plugging away.

THat is totally great. You are proof that even setbacks (large or small) can be overcome.
