Hurray!

After 9 years, my student loans are all paid off!

You know what's dumb? Those loans were all for grad school... which I didn't finish (details in my "erstwhile internship" pages). I mean, I took all the courses required for my MA in secondary education; I just never finished my 12-credit, full-year internship. So in the end, I paid out some $15k for classes that were pretty much useless (see above link -- the educ classes were primarily woo-woo get-to-know-yourself garbage -- with a few exceptions -- rather than material that would actually be useful in teaching, hence my inability to complete the internship). At least it's DONE now! Yay!

And with that, I *think* we are completely debt-free. Both cars are paid off; David's loans are done, too; we rent, so no mortgage... yep, that's the lot.

Now... I wonder what our credit score looks like...

Congrats! I imagine it feels pretty damn good to be debt-free!

It just sort of dawned on me the other day. Yeah, it does feel good :) Of course, I'll have to enjoy it while it lasts, since we're looking at house-hunting next year, and then we'll be a couple of hundred-thousands of dollars in debt...
