As of yesterday my dh and I are debt free...and we still have 3/4 of my last years salary in savings. While I am excited, I am merely soaking in the moment because we plan to have a big family and send the kids to Catholic schools, so I know the whole debt free thing will be short lived. However, it is a nice state of financial security to be in when we welcome our first LO in a couple of weeks!!!
Congratulations!!! ?We're trying to be, too... just paid off a (small) student loan and hope to pay the rest of our debt off with the sale of our house.?
That is wonderful!! What an accomplishment for you guys! Good for you for planning ahead. We also plan on having a large family (at least 4) & our first is in her 2nd year of Catholic school ) It'll be pricey when they are all in school (especially private HS) but we have our goals & we'll just do what's needed to accomplish them like you guys!

Isn't that just an awesome feeling? I know they say money can't buy happiness, but I beg to differ We are finally getting paid for the work done this hauling season (we own a small trucking business) and DH *finally* put one of our trailers up for sale. We don't need it, we're still paying for it and that kind of trailer just isn't getting work this year. Plus, the money from that will pay off a LOT of stuff. While we're not debt free yet, it's nice to know we're heading that way...we can finally breathe a bit
Re: AW...debt free
First, Congratulations!!!!! That's such an accomplishment and something to be proud of!
Second, I'm so jealous. We're working our way to being debt free. We too want a big family and would love to send the kids to private school.
Congratulations!!! ?We're trying to be, too... just paid off a (small) student loan and hope to pay the rest of our debt off with the sale of our house.?
Enjoy the rest of your pregnant, worry-free! ?
