Became debt-free today!

in Debt-free wannabe
I'm sooo pleased, after 10 years of repayment, as of today it's all cleared. I might *still* have no money, but I owe nothing!

I just wanted to tell people, persevere, it takes a loooong time, but it is do-able.

After so many monthly payments, I'm going to splurge the equivalent this month on something very silly, because I can. Jimmy Choos perhaps... :j

    Yay congrats and well done :D
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
