Woohoo! Paying off debt

I got my work bonus today, it was direct deposited into my bank account this morning. Before I could change my mind, I went to the bank over lunch and put through a wire transfer to pay off our 2nd mortgage. We are now $10k less in debt! What a cool feeling it was to log into our mortgage website and see "LOAN PAID IN FULL" on our 2nd mortgage.
Credit card is next goal...we will use the tax refund.

Just wanted to share. You ladies have all inspired me. :)

Good for you!!!And you are so right about doing it "before I changed my mind" -- there are soooooo many places to put any $$$ that show up!

Hi, and congrats to you! I applaud your discipline to put the $$ toward a huge amount of debt (i.e., mortgage), and go out and celebrate a little. Whiz.

It's a great feeling isn't it. You are an ispiration. It is sometimes hard to keep puttin all this money into debt without necessarily seeing any rewards. You have reminded me of how it feels when a debt is paid in full!
