Lori - $3800 is debt you will never see again! Congratulations! :D Golda - We weren't able to become debt free together as originally thought but we still did it! :D Danielle - You will be debt free on September 1st? That is excellent news!! I am very excited for you and am glad you shared with us your celebration! Kelsalynn - Yeah a part of me wanted to use our emergency fund, and if we weren't having a baby in October I would have done just that. This way I am forced to find another way and we win in two ways. We have more savings and no debt. That is a great feeling! Thank you everyone for your support!

I will be sure to make the debt free post a good one. :) Dad - Congratulations that is great! Credit card free is a nice feeling. Those dang student loans are a pain in the butt, but you are going to knock it out! Good luck! Vicki - Thank you so much! Thanks for pointing out that error. I honestly proof read this post a billion times and I think it is funny that that little detail made it past me when it is so obvious. LOL Jane & Money Funk- Thanks and just hang in there! Murphy is taking advantage of you now, just as he did with us, but you will both win in the end. I know you can do it and I hope you come to enemy of debt to announce it when you do! Stick to it and try to ignore the lingering frustration whenever Murphy passes through. It's tough but you are going to win! Murphy will be defeated!! :D Chad - Trust me that has crossed my mind. I am going to savor the taste and learn as much as I can from this journey. Next month will be such a great victory! Dave - Thank you Dave! Getting out of debt is a very overwhelming feeling! I remember how I felt in December of 2007! I was excited about starting the baby steps, but also remember questioning the possibilities. There was a part of me that still didn't believe it could be done. Honestly, selling the Vibe gave us the psychological boost we needed. It is when we truly started to believe we were in control! :D MH4C – Thanks a lot man! I will be sure to make the debt free post a good one. :)

We have paid off all credit card and revolving debt and are now working on the large medical bills we owe. Our goal is one to one and a half years until we are totally free. However, we too, have had Murphy as a continual visitor. Frustrating! I am excited for you…my husband and I have been working toward debt freedom for 3 years.
