I'm debt free!
« on: January 17, 2014, 05:05:36 PM »
I made the last payment on my student loans today!

When I started grad school in 2009, I had about 20k in student loan and car debt.  I finished my MS, and am shooting to wrap up the PhD next year, and I have paid off all my debt  (On a research stipend of about 20k until I started at NASA in August).  I was already on the path when I started reading MMM, but some facepunching still helped speed me along :-)

Awesome! I remember how happy I was when I did the same thing. I know I will feel the same way when I finish the mortgage!
