As many of you know, after I declared bankruptcy in 2006, I kept a car payment, and also came out about $13,000 in debt to my parents. (shown on my ticker below.)
My car is now paid off and in 2009 I have been focusing on the family loan, paying 2/3rds of my take home pay a month in the hopes of having it all paid off this summer, when I will be moving from my apartment (it seemed like a good deadline/goal.)

Wow, that is so amazing!! I received a small windfall this year too that I posted about. I am not out of debt yet but I still feel like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. It just gets me that much closer to my goal. Most of it I have in saving for an emergency fund for myself and or my store.
I don't know if you have any savings that are ongoing with your job or on your own but I just wanted to suggest it as one of your priorities. You must pay yourself first. That is one sure step that you will not end up in debt again.
And for God's sake buy yourself something nice!!
I'm so happy for you!
What a wonderful gift!
Congrats and hugs to you. What a blessing!
Take this opportunity to pay it forward. I'm not saying go wipe out someone elses debt but make an effort to find a good deed and do it to make someone feel as wonderful as you feel today!
thanks for your good wishes to me Maybe you already have I got an appointment with a new guy Monday at 9 AM
You got some great parents there treasure them always as I know you do..
Now that you are almost debt free I hope you have learned your lesson. Girlfriend. LOL
