I just bought myself an early birthday present.

I've had this loadstone around my neck for about 15 years. The last student loan I got for that farce of a school, may they rot in Hell.

I've refused to pay it off mostly out of spite. Ok. yeah. the loan company isnt to blame for the school. But, conversly, it was THIER money the school stole.

So. Beginning of this year I do my annual finances. Pay off a small debt, and realize that I only have one left in the stack. The student loan afore mentioned.

I've struggled with it for weeks. Finally today after getting off work. I checked my bank account, called them up, and payed the damn thing off.

I figured afterwords id feel better. I don't, my stomach hurts.

But, I've broken the last shackle and tossed off the last chain. I am, as of now. Debt free. (and yes I know. month to month bills, groceries yadda yadda yadda).

On the up side. I bought a set of Glass Headlamp pods for Angel. Been looking for a long time and I'm happy and excited on that front.

And now.... I think... I'll have a beer.

Congrats! Now go buy a New CAR!

Spec B for everybody!

Congrats on your steady effort to be fiscally responsible.

yes congrates on being smart, im trying to do the same

way to bite the bullet.

mine aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

best simpsons quote ever, by the criminal dude after he robs the quickie mart- "Student loans, sayonara."

Good work man. Sucks you had to drag it out due to spite, and its too bad you were in a situation to feel that way. But being debt free makes it worth it, hopefully. My goal is to pay off my credit card in the next few months!

very nice! congrats, I am working on doing the same at the moment as well, but I can't stop spending money on this damn car. haha

If the contract at work gets renewed, I'd hope to get my debt(other than the mortgage) paid off by sometime next summer...

I can't wait!
