Debt Free Living (Almost)

Yesterday I paid of my car, one little credit card and one last loan. Now, except for my mortgage, I am living debt free. It is a wonderful feeling and one I hope to continue to get to enjoy. My goal now is to start saving, paying more toward the mortgage each month, and enjoy life a bit. I am excited to check my credit report next year, hoping that it will have nothing on it. Oh what joy.
Already I have had to fight off the new car dreaming. Not that I need one or want one but the thought that I could sell the current one and have a chunk for a cash down makes getting a new one enticing but I will not!!!
The next plan is to get a set of french doors put in the kitchen with a patio and stairs leading down to the backyard. This will make getting to the backyard much easier and give us an outdoor place to enjoy our dinners.
For now I will enjoy owing money only to one company and knowing that all bills can easily be paid each month. God is Good!

Can't wait to get there ourselves, but we have a few years to go!
