When Will You Celebrate "D-Day" (Debt-Free Day)?

[Malthus]

Heh my wife lost patience and paid off the remainder of the mortgage today with some money she had lying around in her chequing account - it was only a few thousand.

I keep telling Princesca to do this with our HELOC, since we have well more than enough in savings to pay it off, but for some reason she won't.

I admit, paying off debt makes a reasonably good investment - even at these low interest rates, it's hard to find investments with a better return at low risk - but the primary benefits are subjective, not financial.

Just made my last car payment!

I did that over 4 years ago.

My wife still has one, though.

Debt free, but mainly because I can't afford the deposit needed for a house in the current market. It's not simply a question of saving the money I would have spent on mortgage payments, as I have rent to pay.

Best of all, I very much doubt my parents intend on leaving me anything, because they will have spent it all by the time they die. Baby boomers.

About to be approved on my 15 year at about 3%.

Two paid-for cars.

Almost out of consumer debt.

Life is good.
