WooHoo! (Financial Milestones)

[eiblyn]

Today I got a letter in the mail confirming that we have paid off the first of my student loans! *happy dance* Yeah. That is so awesome! Granted, I still have four loans to pay off, but I've paid off a quarter of the total amount already. So things are going fantastically on that front.

Also...we have officially completely paid off our credit card with the highest interest rate! Now we just have two more credit cards to go and we'll be completely debt free on that front! Hooray! We're grown-ups! Or at least looking like it.

We are also fixing our car using cash...no credit despite it being about $500 including labor.

Realistically, elvnsword and I realized that we don't want to stay in the military for the rest of our lives. And with the Tadpole making an appearance soon, we can't just get out of the military without a serious backup plan and money stuff under control. Add to that my chronic fear of ending up homeless and poor...well, let's just say I'm a little obsessive about paying off bills and saving. It scares me to see how many people aren't paying attention to any of it at all. Thank you for the encouragement!
