I finally paid off my orthodontist bill for invisalign. At the time I was unable to get braces because of my job so it was either invisalign or wait another year for braces. It cost me around $5500, I paid $2K up front and paid more and more each recourring month. I made the final payment today. I also got an A+ on my winter course final exam today. Too bad the lottery isn't today because I'm feeling great. Paying off debt is an awesome feeling.

I also made a post on here a few months ago about throwing extra money at my car note, so to update those who posted in that thread I will have my car paid off in May (it was a 5 year note, will have it paid off in 2.5 years). Will work on my wife's vehicle afterwards then hopefully be debt free for awhile.

What type of job doesn't allow you to get braces?

That is probably a good thing. You already finished on a strong note, no need to slip up now.

Yep. The day I paid my last mortgage payment was one of the best days of my life. That was 5 years ago now and I'm now spending my money on home repairs.

That is awesome 13!

Keep it up. I felt better and better each time I paid off a bill. It is a freedom that you can't put in to words. I am down to only a mortgage bill now.

In five more years, I will be completely debt free.

Not worth it's own thread, but I refinanced some student loans (saving over 70k over the life of the loans, yeah, I have a lot of loans) and paid off some credit card debt this last week. I'm out of non-student loan debt and it does feel great!
