I just paid off my student loans! Graduated from law school nine years ago with ~$225,000 in student debt. Can hardly believe it's gone.Cheering you all on too!
Thank you @Dicey! My next step is actually a sabbatical to do some long-term travel. Part of me wonders if it's crazy to pause my pursuit of early retirement and to spend some time (a year, maybe?) spending a bunch of money in the middle of my career, but -- I'm going for it!
