You don't have to stop being a tightass once you're out of debt. Keep the hammer down. In time your investment returns will be enough to support the lifestyle of an OT Baller. Like me.

When my wife and I moved in together, she was about $20K in Credit card debt. We committed every spare dollar we had and paid it all off plus some in just over a year. It was a very gratifying feeling. Congrats to you, man.

With intrest rates were they are at, one would be crazy NOT to buy a house now. The future will show that rates will be going back up in the 7% range in the next 3-4 years.
