    First NSD of September today (Monday) 😁

    But more importantly, today I paid off my last debt (except for my mortgage) 🤩 I already feel so much lighter being debt-free and am going to keep being more mindful with my money to make sure I don’t fall back into debt. 
    Debt-free journey started August 2023. DF 02/09/2024 🥳 (except mortgage)
