I'm 43 and if all continues to go as planned (fingers crossed), mortgage and car debt will be paid off within 6 months. It almost feels unreal.
Have made this a priority for so long and it's been SUCH a struggle - and got derailed (who doesn't) so many times, but was determined to keep the focus. Friends and family never understand and really think something is wrong with me ("you have a good job, why aren't you buying nice things for yourself, why aren't you hiring someone else to do that").
I tried to tell them my goals in the past, but they think I have my priorities all wrong. I will probably tell them once I get there, but for now, very thankful I can share this info on this forum. And now that it's this close, I am slowly starting to let myself say "This really feels good!!!!"
Hard work and perseverance!
