Title: Big day for me today
Post by: savduck on March 12, 2011, 12:36:39 PM
I come from a blue collar family. they encouraged me my whole life to go to college. Well I did, and had a small scholarship to help, but I ended up having to take out a loan to get my degree.

Well today, 10 springs after graduating, with my tax return I was able to pay off the remaining balance. This is big time for me. One more step to becoming debt free. One more bill gone.  250.00 freed up a month to help support my family in this horrible economy or spend on gas to go turkey hunting this spring.

YEAH BOY.

Way to go, Savduck. That is a huge weight off of your shoulders. I can only imagine how that would crimp a guys style. I think a celebration is in order. Take the wife out for supper, and then go buy a new gun. Ooh Rah...Mike :you_rock:

That's great.  It's a good feeling knowing that debt is paid off and you can put that money toward supporting your family.

Thanks Guys.

Man I have been  :jackson: :jackson: :jackson: :jackson: in the streets. I had been given notice that I was to lose my job twice. Just signed another 6 month extension. now I freed up that money, Im gonna take 150 a month and tack in on to another bill and save a 100 and get another one paid off.

I dont have much debt, but I sure would love to attack the bills I do have and get them gone in case I still lose my job. I have had other offers, so I feel I could go back to work. Problem is that they have all been 50% pay cut. So to survive I got to gets my monthly cost of living down. I got lucky and my mortgage is coming down about 300 plus this 250...........550 gone from my monthly debt starting April 1st. The Lord comes through if you just go with his plan.

Great to read about you being focused on paying the debts off as well, and being responsible with what you do have.
