…kind of a bummer that I can’t tell anyone in my family because half of them (including my parents) will look at me like an ATM whose job it is to set myself on fire in order to keep them warm.

    Nice! I’ve been working to pay off all of my debts as well. I got my student loans finished last year.

    I had to take out a loan to get my roof put on, and if everything goes well, that’ll be paid off towards the end of October.

    After that, I’ll only have my mortgage too. Feels good.

      Well done!

      I was fortunate to be able to do a bulk payoff of my student loans in 2023, not unlike what I did with this other loan this week. I bought some oil stock on the cheap in March 2020 and just waited for the travel industry to reopen.
