Milestone Day
posted Wednesday, 12 September 2007
Today J. and I hit a major financial milestone. We've been working toward this for a long time, almost 9 years - saving, scrimping, making double payments, throwing any tax refund money towards it. I don't want to come right out and say it, for fear the bad luck gods will throw cancer, job loss, or natural disaster our way for enjoying this achievement (yes, I am superstitious), but it involves:
- our house
- a large payment and
- one less creditor in our lives.
I'd never made a wire transfer before. I also didn't realize it costs so much to not owe money. Just to get the payoff amount cost $30 and the wire transfer cost $15. Those banks, they always have the upper hand, don't they? But not anymore. HA!

What are you talking about? No j/k. Congrats. You should be proud. Now
go out and celebrate and don't worry about the "bad luck gods" coming to
get you.

Congratulations! That is so exciting -- you must feel so FREE.
