Debt free, woohoo!
« on: October 02, 2015, 07:56:35 AM »
Got a signing bonus for my new job, used this to pay off my last major debt (vehicle balance). Awesome feeling logging into personal capital this morning and seeing nothing in the liabilities column! Of course the monthly payment $$ is going right into savings/invest.

Wifey is going back to school (skill/cert program, not college) and I've got a chunk set aside for that as well so it won't be financed either. She's gonna go back to work in less than a year and then we'll be rolling even more into the stache. FI before kids in college here we come!

No mortgage, so if you configure rent a debt then I lied. :)

Been saving already so not starting from 0, but more into the pot!
