Since probably the beginning of the Great Recession - that Costco Visa is paid in full. No debt period.

No mortgage, no car payments, no credit card debt, etc. We owe no body nuttin' and it feels so good.
We thought it would have happened last Spring - then two large car repairs postponed it, but the online bill
pay just was sent.

DW should receive some inheritance money this fall - so nice that she does not have to spend it to clear
debt.

Feeling extremely thankful right now, such a huge burden lifted. Before I changed positions at work I
looked at customer's credit reports all day and could never understand how comfortable people are about
debt - I am totally the opposite.

We always had the cash to pay off the debt, but once in the bank - it is so hard to put back in, so we
avoided draining down the savings.

We live in a small house, drive a 2003 Camry, I bike to work - yet today, I feel very rich. Now off to
pack my lunch, hop on my bicycle and head to work. Life is good.
