It feels great to not just be debt free but to have the cash reserves piled up in the event of an emergency.

I have also purposely paid more on the principal each month. I keep an account of how much I charge and pay off my credit card bills in full each month. I think having parents that were raised during the Depression helped to set my understanding and value of money. I learned from them the real value of a dollar and how to save. I learned that some things are worth waiting for and that reusing and recycling isn't just for paper and cans.Irishgreen4evernoreply@blogger.com
