Smiley-overload.

 

I'm finally there. I'm debt-free except my house… I have nothing else useful to add except that I am overjoyed and thanks to readers and a few other awesome bloggers around here I kept going, yakezie and non-yakezie.

So thank you to Andrea from SOD for her awesomeness, Derek from LAMF for great info, Jeff @ SLB who I've been following for I have no idea how long – before I began blogging, GRS blog for existing while I was still making stupid decisions years ago, GRB, Blonde on a Budget, Niki @ DB30, Miss T, Jackie, Travis @ Debtchronicles, YFS, Robert @ the college investor, Serendipity, Ashley, Daisy and pretty much everyone else for the support, comments and great blogs. (and of course Sam for starting up Yakezie waybackwhen) :)

Congrats! I'm incredibly jealous. :)

I can't wait for the day when I can join you in the club of no non-mortgage debt! I'll probably be old and wrinkled by the time that happens, but I'll get there eventually.

So proud of you for sticking it out and keeping us informed along the way! Hopefully now this means we get more reno pictures!!!

Did you follow any specific getting out debt strategies such as the ones discussed in David Bach's or Dave Ramsey's books?

I read Your Money or Your Life which is what got me started in 2009 I think, I didn't discover Dave until I had already tackled my credit-card debt, at that point I was struggling and it gave me the boost of motivation to keep going. I did initially save up the emergency fund that is babystep #1 but since then I've mainly stuck with paying off debt so I am more financially liquid to handle emergencies if they arise. I suppose I'm not following any particular method to the letter, mainly just getting rid of debt, finding ways to cut expenses and make more money.
