Big milestone

I am so very happy to tell you that we again have hit another milestone in our "Dave" program.  On December 30th, Chad walked into our credit union and paid the balance that we owed on our minivan.  For the last 10 years, (basically our whole married life), we have had a car payment.  This is big, big news for us.  We only have our student loans and our mortgage in terms of debt, and it is an amazing feeling.  I am very grateful that Chad has the drive and determination to get us out of debt as fast as possible.  We are slated to be able to pay off the student loans by summer, and I can't wait for that to happen.  Hooray for progress!

Update

Chad and I have still been hard at work paying down our debt.  If you remember, we started doing the Dave Ramsey method last year.  (Click here to see how we started.)  Well, we are not debt free yet, but we hit a major milestone.  We paid off the last of our consumer credit this weekend! We don't owe anything to any store or credit card company, the credit line has paid in full, and it feels great!  Honestly, we haven't been in this position since we bought our house.  Next, we are tackling the car and student loans, and the very last will be the house.  We still have a way to go, but we have made great progress! Yay!
