A momentous occasion

It's official. On 08-09-10, nearly 19 years to the day since I started college, I finished paying for it. Can I tell you how good it felt to click the button that said "pay the full pay off amount" yesterday? My student loans are gone. I feel like a giant weight has been lifted.

    Oh my gosh, I'm beyond jealous! You lucky girl! I'm not even close since I did a consolidation a few years back which put my school loans on the same payment terms as a home loan! I call my brain my "mortgage in my skull". Congrats on a HUGE accomplishment! :)
