Debt FREEEEEEE!!!!!

As of today, we are DEBT FREEEEEE!!!!! We had paid off our house in CO a few years ago but until today were still dealing with the money pit from hell of a house in Phoenix (where we had unhappily lived for 3 years). We sold the house today!!! It certainly wasn't cheap-the woman at the bank helping do the wire transfer referred to "the sellers" and I responded, "we are the sellers". Oh. Usually the sellers aren't looking to wire >$10,000 but that's what happened. So, bank account is looking a little sparse but we are debt free, phone-call-regarding-failing/vandalized A/C, drug dealers, destructive renters, and on and on. It feels pretty great!

It's great and so you had to empty some of your bank account to be rid of the albatross, good! It's freeing and worth it.

Wonderful news. Sometimes you have to take a few steps backward but now you can plan your steps forward.

Congratulations, RosieTR! What a WONDERFUL feeling! I know what it's like to FINALLY extricate oneself from a house gone bad...such a fabulous weight off the mind, heart and shoulders! :) Well done!

Great news, RosieTR. That's a big milestone, and I know you and your hubby will really enjoy not having to worry about dealing with that house any longer.

Thanks all! Since not everyone IRL knows we are completely debt free for various reasons, it's nice to share here. I know I've had inspiration from seeing other folks reach this milestone so I say keep on keeping on if you're working on this goal. You can do it!

So happy for you, RosieTR! Now you need to find a poster that says "We DID it!" to serve as your avatar!

Yes, maybe I'll have to think about that. I think I changed my username (used to be thesweetooth) and avatar around when we came to the New Road Map server, but it also had to do with the move.

Congrats!! Does that mean that Rosie no longer has to rivet for a living? But keep the avatar as I have always loved it!
