Financial Success is around the Corner

I can't believe it! We just did something amazing! Today at 1:33pm we paid off our auto loan. I know that's not super exciting, but for us the shortest payoff time has been several years not 8 mos. It feels so good and it's going to relieve a lot of pressure on our finances. We've also recently defered our student loans which gives us room to breathe. Finally, we made some hard choices, ditched the cable tv and the YMCA membership that I loved, and reduced our energy and water consumption as much as we could. Our bills are finally manageable and we can build a bit for emergency savings. We also have enough to fix Chris' car and, if we ever sell the Nissan in Spokane, we'll get to go home for Christmas this year!!! It's so exciting for us. Now we just have the loan we took out for the move into the military and we'll be almost debt free (save for student loans, of course.) Wish us luck!

I agree, it is exciting to pay off the car. I guess you can only know the excitement if you have done it.
