Hey guys,
I just wanted to share with all of you because I can't think of a group of people who will be more excited about this than the Yakezie folks.
Last Friday I paid off the last of my $33,850 in student loan debt. I'm officially debt free (aside from some debt at 0% APR).
It probably would have taken me another few months if it weren't for income from my site, and a lot of that income is thanks to Yakezie, so thank you to everyone!
Feel free to stop by my post and tell me congrats! :)

CONGRATS! I'm jealous, but at the same time, stories like these remind me that I will pay off my loans eventually. Hope you did something fun this weekend to celebrate!

AWESOME! I just got there earlier this year, so I know how great it feels. What are you planning to do with all the extra money now? Saving? Investing?

I helped my girlfriend's parents with a garage sale. I am overdue for a celebration.

Saving for a house. Which, by the way, I am considering a move to the Denver area in the next two years or so. You'll have to sell me on your city.

fanTAStic!
We paid the rest of my ~$36,000 loans in September 2010. Just the other day I calculated the extra cash flow from having done this…and it's just amazing.
You should do the same in a year or so–it will bring a big smile to your face (maybe not as bright as the day they were paid off though!).

I was paying over $300 a month on those stupid things 4 years ago. It's very nice to have that monkey off my back.

Hooray! That is so awesome. I remember paying mine off. I was so happy (it was a big sum and my final debt), that I threw a huge party. Cheers to you!!!

Great work. I never had student loan debt but my wife has some outstanding loans. It's a locked in 2% interest rate with a $96 monthly payment so we're not in a big hurry right now to pay them off, but when it does get paid, I know it will be a great feeling.

Congratulations. Student loans are one of the types of loans that I never recommend to keep around unless the rate is insanely low like 2-3%.
I just had a huge argument with my brother about paying off his student loan last night and he's making all the normal financial mistakes that a 20s makes. In fact, he's rushing into them based on his girlfriend's influence. He's arguing that it's better to spend $1200/month (assuming everything works out) than $500/month.

That is great news! I remember when we paid off our student loans which was the last debt to go. It was so liberating. Congrats!

Great job, Kevin! I absolutely love reading about people unshackling themselves from their debt burden. It's an exhilarating feeling, isn't it? Now, what are you going to do with all that extra dough at your disposal?
